THE BLACK SHIFT

Eivind Trædal

Catalogue text DET SVARTE SKIFTET is an illuminating and informative (and, actually, funny) review of an unpleasant part of modern history, but also a necessary reminder of what is at stake where Norwegian oil and climate politics are concerned. This book shows how we have changed our strategy and manner of speaking, step by step, away from a binding line emphasising the responsibility the world's wealthiest country has in a global community in favour of justifying expansive Norwegian petroeconomics.

Drama with Hilde

Vigdis Hjorth

Hilde Bøe is a drama teacher, leading a seemingly quiet life with her engineer husband and her two-year-old daughter. But in this close cutting and hilarious depiction of a young modern woman, there is a lot going on on the inside. Who am I? Where am I going? Is it my own image of myself, of the pictures other have of me that is the most true? This novel was the great break through for Vigdis Hjorth as a writer.

But dreams have also been considered a portal to something bigger than ourselves. Dragseth has kept a diary of his dreams for a year and uses this to give us unique insight. With precision and a nose for poetry, he spans a vault where both the depth of his psyche and the occult have a place.

You Won’’t Believe it Until You See It

Ingeborg Eliassen

The year's longest book! A very special accordion-book that grows as you read it. Unfold this humorous and spirited picture book and see everything that happens in the kitchen while you're sleeping! I wake up from some noises and creep downstairs, but almost don't believe what I'm seeing – because underneath the striped kitchen mat, I find nothing other than the cross-eyed neighbor cat snoring! But that's not the worst part … Technical facts: You Won't Believe It Until You See It is made of solid paper (but not cardboard). It can be read like a normal book, but when you unfold it, it grows to be three meters long! On the one side, you can read the poem and see what is happening in the kitchen – and it's a lot! On the other side of the accordion, we're standing outside of the house and peeking through the window. Without doubt, this year's most original book!

BIG FIVE
Literature and Fiction2018 · 336 pp

BIG FIVE

Erlend Loe

Five individuals – a dentist, a biologist, a film editor, an author and a police detective – feel attractions and inclinations without knowing where these come from.They undergo a process of radicalisation and eventually realise that if the world is to survive, someone needs to take a stand. Big Five is a story about powerlessness, activism, non-conformance, and unbridled passion.Erlend Loe excels throughout the novel with his laconic and good-humored storytelling. He parodies modern therapeutic and organizational language in a superb way. VG – FIVE OUT OF SIX STARS Erlend Loe knows what he is making fun of. The swinging between the crazy and the serious, between wise thoughts about conservationism and Africa tourism of the quant sort, leopard fetishism on the ferry to Denmark, sodomy on Kenyan soil, a guitar playing wife, a husband that turns gay, the loss of an arm, a leg, a life – it is all there in this Loe-ish circus of seriousness and nonsense. STAVANGER AFTENBLAD – FIVE OUT OF SIX STARS A splendid satire over misguided idealism and everyday life in the society of today. Erlend Loe is something as rare as a genuine humorist. Like all comical talents of this level, he builds his slapstick on a foundation of serious engagement. In his surrealist ingenuity, he sprinkles thought provoking points all around. DAGBLADET – FIVE OUT OF SIX STARS I have not laughed as much through three hundred pages – since the last book by Erlend Loe! ADRESSEAVISA – FIVE OUT OF SIX STARS In this book Loe shares exquisite humour, elegant irony and situation comedy, as well as an oblique glance at phenomenons of our time. It is great entertainment; intelligent and subtle humour the way that only Loe knows how to write. I think this book will be one of this years most notable books, when time comes to sum it all up at the end of the year. DAG OG TID Erlend Loe’s new novel, BIG FIVE, might have hit a debate that is too painful for us to want to talk about it. The book is characterised by Loe’s wry observation and language skills, and is very funny.DAGENS NÆRINGSLIV Loe´s humour and original way to look at human characteristics are very much present in this novel.
