The Last Laugh

Thomas Lundbo

The Last Laugh is a hyper-topical story about the time that passes and the time we live in, about innovation and stagnation, about history's long lines and twisted side tracks, about the dark forces lurking in everyday life and the glimpses of light and hope. The book offers entertainment, excitement and hints of erotica.The Norwegian train company, Vy, struggles with its reputation. The railway's upcoming 175th anniversary could be an opportunity to restore public confidence. To prepare a suitable concept, the management has set up a committee that brings together some of the country's strongest creative minds. The work goes slowly, but just in time a genius idea is conceived: a train ride to break all bounderies. But can the concept be carried out? And if so, at what price?

The Third

M. Seppola Simonsen

Imagine that you / float between two truths, writes M. Seppola Simonsen in their new poetry collection, and that this weightless, exposed position makes one untrue. Imagine then a bodyless body, a wordless language. And try to explain what and who you are, to a world which doesn't want to have you explained. The Third challenges its own language to find, and to embrace, a third position, between him and her, between right and wrong, between power and nature. A third position threatened by violence and isolation and hate and namelessness. We see and we have seen it, time and again. The poet attempts to do something about this. To find joy, and beauty, and strength in togetherness.

The Mountain is Haunted

Sidsel Jøranlid

An easy-to-read ghost story. Just scary enough, just dark enough. Mum has inherited a cabin from her uncle Gunnar. Simon and his family have only been there a few times, but every single time they arrive at the cabin Simon gets a creepy feeling. He definitely doesn’t want to be there. But it’s the Easter holidays, and they should be spent at the cabin. During their holidays, Simon’s creepy feeling begins to manifest in some specific suspicions. There’s something happening at the abandoned mountain lodge across the road. And didn’t something seem odd about the other children Simon and his sister met? One of Bok365's best books of 2023«Sidsel Jøranlid has written a really scary story. It's a horror of the good old kind, where the mind is drawn to Norwegian horror classics, like Andre Bjerke's The Lake of the Dead (De dødes tjern).»BOK365, six/six stars «That a middle grade book is easily read, is thankfully no hinder for it also being really scary.»KLASSEKAMPEN «Sidsel Jøranlid does not give you all the answers, it's up to you what to believe. She has written a story that ranges from the mundane, which the children will recognize, to what can be experienced as scary when it's dark - then she really gives in to superstition and rumours.»HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD

Your Will Be Done

Anne-Britt Harsem

Anne-Britt Harsem approaches the free churches in Norway to uncover the neglect, manipulation, and conspiracy theories (brainwashing) which children and teenagers are exposed to. This story is based on conversations with a woman who at a young age was pulled into the Pentecostal environment against her will. The day-to-day consisted of revival meetings, doomsday prophecies, physical punishments, speaking in tongues, spirit and demon exorcism to mention a few. A gifted child who spent all her energy on surviving. This book uncovers what goes on behind the scenes in some of these closed congregations. Norwegian free churches have essentially been protected, despite several children being exposed to neglect in these environments. The story shows what kind of power the preachers have over the congregation, what kind of damage this can cause on a young mind, and how it can affect your life as an adult. The children risk developing post-traumatic stress disorder, which causes poorer quality of life and in the worst cases disabilities as an adult. A quietly insisting and upsetting book about a person who spent all their power daring to live.

Dopamine

Dopamine

Alexander Fallo

Alexander Fallo’s Dopamine is a poetry collection about getting an ADHD diagnosis late in life – and needing to live with it. These are sad, warm, frustrating, humoristic, energic and desperate poems written with 20mg Ritalin in the system. The author himself has the lived experience of leaving the psychiatrist with a letter about the diagnosis in one hand and a prescription in the other. And that was that. What does the story of a life look like when you look back at it with a new gaze? Could things have turned out differently? What does a diagnosis mean? Is it helpful or does it cause further issues? Is there such a thing as something in between? Dopamine is a personal deep dive which addresses memories and scenes from a life with a widespread diagnosis.

The Drone Catcher

Øyvind Torseter

On a small island lives the Mule Boy. He receives a warning about a catastrophe and locks himself inside his house. The rats have taken over the city. Should he escape, or should he stay put? After consideration, he bravely ventures out into the empty streets, where he finds someone who’s part of the resistance. An adventurous, apocalyptic action-filled story about isolation, being daring and giant rats. The Drone Catcher is the fifth book about Mule Boy, a series of graphic novels that blend myth, adventure and social commentary, in text and images. Mule Boy’s skewed and somewhat alienated universe enables us to see ourselves and our society with fresh eyes.Allowing plenty of time is recommended: Between Torseter's covers there is - in every way - so much going on that his broad pages are a joy to turn.KLASSEKAMPEN[The book] is large and thick, but it is wise to give yourself plenty of time on each page, to study the details. This is where the experience lies - and the opportunity to supplement with your own associations and reflections. This applies to both adult readers and children.VÅRT LANDTorseter stands firm in its art form. The overview images are colourful, intricate and detailed, while the close-ups and individual scenes are simple and immediate, with black ink and a white background. This contrasting alternation creates a good flow in the narrative.BARNEBOKKRITIKK

The Dream Bike Register

Erlend Loe

The Dream Bike Register is about Solveig (who after a while changes her name to Sara, then to Fleur and later to Flexie-Belle) whose bicycle is stolen in a dream and then discovers that her insurance doesn’t cover bicycles stolen in dreams. She feels alone and not present in her own life. She also struggles with boyfriends. She’s had way too many in too short a time. All the while, bicycles keep disappearing in her dreams. The Hittites steal them. And Einar Tambarskjelve. And her neighbour Krout keeps going out. After an especially silly dream where Fleur’s bicycle is stolen while she makes a speech about bike theft at the UN, she rants online. And quickly becomes a spokesperson for people who are sad and upset after having their bicycles stolen from them in their dreams. Flexie-Belle starts a movement. She gets Krout onboard. And after a while establishes dreambikeregister.com, which receives registrations from across the world. Thousands of bikes disappear in dreams every single night. But thanks to the register a lot of people get their dream bikes back. Everyone joins in. The Norwegian City of Trondheim becomes the first place in the world to collectively register the bikes their inhabitants use in their dreams. Shangai becomes the first large city in Asia to join. Flexie-Belle becomes a hero, she gets rich, and finally gets her life in order. The Dream Bike Register is a success story. Norwegian star author has committed a small stroke of genius. Again.«Regardless: Erlend Loe's beautiful, short, touching and insanely funny novel is both very light and very deep. Typically him... Its main character is not at all likeable. The novel about her is another stroke of genius from the man behind the novels "Doppler" and "Fvonk" and other delights. It's good that he exists.»BERLINSKE (Denmark), five/five starsSeriously funny from Loe«You'll struggle to find a more distinct literary project than that of Erlend Loe. Key words: humour and naivity.»NRKMakes you chuckle«The imaginative author Erlend Loe denies himself little, as usual, in a story that exists far from realism's demand of credibility. The short novel will hit home for loyal Loe readers.»VG«... balances beautifully on the border between the completely banal and the pleasantly recognisable. ... The result is highly charming reading.»KLASSEKAMPEN

Animal Happiness

Frederik Svindland

After being kicked out of school, the narrator starts attending a new school in the town, where he gets new classmates and ends up part of an environment which broadens his world in all directions. Some of these friends are pretty fearless, but none as much as Sal, his old friend who also attends this school. In the same vein of his previous books in the trilogy, Animal Happiness is a lyrical novel, propelled forward by the language, the pictorial texts are painted with at times absurd precision, full of fresh observations about friendship, insecurity and belonging. But it’s also about graffiti. And about cows. With Animal Happiness Frederik Svindland finishes his trilogy of novels offering us an insight into the author’s upbringing, family, and social circle.
