Norwegian love

To be part of the Norwegian. Who has Brynjulf been? Who will he be or become? What does it mean to be Norwegian? "(...) poems that vibrate with quiet, understated tension.”Marius AspVG, Five/six stars “He is often satirical and has an undeniable talent for pinpoint phrasing.”Espen GrønlieDagbladet, Five/six stars “… a poetic commentary on the ongoing news landscape.”Gro Jørstad NilsenBergens Tidende, Five/six stars “Brynjulf Jung Tjønn finds a finely tuned balance between the despair of identity and reconciliation.”Ingunn ØklandAftenposten “Brynjulf Jung Tjønn’s new poetry collection plays on ‘Norwegian’ as a hallmark of identity, values, and tradition, while also capturing the experience of alienation, racism, and the loss of self.”Sigrid Elise StrømmenVårt Land

The Trophy Room

Lars Saabye Christensen

Ion Pauker is the son of a master glassmaker in a small village. His journey through life coincides with the emergence of the new regime. Like his peers, Ion Pauker is drawn to what is new. He proves to be adaptable and ends up in the People's Palace, responsible for the Omagiu room - the place where all official medals and orders are kept. There are many trophies to look after, and strict guidelines for which medals to display at different occasions. But there will come a time when the medals and their supervisor cease to serve a purpose. The Trophy Room takes place in a bizarre regime of the past. The novel also serves as a mirror being held up to our world of today, with its authoritarian tendencies and desire for strong leaders. Under such a regime, what happens to people’s humanity? What happens to citizens when their minds are controlled, and "truth" is nothing but a means to keep that control? Where does one draw the line between survival and treason? And under these contidions, it even possible to be a good person? «The Trophy Room is both an eerie portrait of the autoritarian's mentality, and a refreshing renewal of a long and important authorship.»VG, five/six stars «The book has obvious hints to Franz Kafka»Dag og Natt «... a touching and uncomfortable portrait of a person in a dictatorship's violence.»Dagsavisen «Lars Saabye Christensen surprises and impresses – again.»Nettavisen «Lars Saabye Christensen's take on 1984—a George Orwellian dystopia carried by an atmosphere somewhere between The Handmaid's Tale and South Korea's Squid Game.(...) It is chilling! (...) Saabye revels in an eeriness that mirrors our own rampant newspeak.»Politiken "The Tropy Room is not a comfortable novel, but it is sharp. It works best as a sort of political fable about power, obedience, and moral decay. It is a book that does not seek so much to entertain as to unsettle—and to make the reader consider where the line is drawn between adapting and giving up."Kulturkappellet

Odd and Even Odder Jobs

Bjørn F. Rørvik

A book of fun facts about really odd jobs that you’ll never believe exist. Most children wonder what they’ll be when they grow up. Who doesn’t dream of being a footballer or a popstar? Or maybe a firefighter, a doctor, a hairdresser or a lawyer? But why do the same thing as everyone else? Why not do something completely different? How about being a dinosaur-duster, a snake-milker or an armpit-sniffer? In Odd and Even Odder Jobs, Bjørn F. Rørvik has come up with more than 50 professions that you probably never knew existed. There’s plenty of fun and peculiar stuff, and some of the jobs sound really unlikely. But all of them are absolutely real – and all of them need to be done!

Sir Bang and his fellow knight Sir Rosebush head into the forest, but before they know it, they’ve been sent to Klampenburg Castle to look for Zippo, the Dragon’s little nephew.
