Storm and Albrikt go to where pepper grows

Thomas Framnes

Storm and Albrikt are not just best friends, but also friends with Gaute, who has been really unlucky and is in hospital with a broken leg. Gaute must be cheered up, Storm and Albrikt agree heartily. Perhaps some homemade hot-pot would be the answer? But Gaute isn't best pleased with their plate of stew. Instead, he keeps complaining about how boring the hospital is. Something to spice up ordinary days would've been a treat, he yawns. And then falls asleep. Storm and Albrikt realise what they have to do. And soon they’re on their way to where the pepper plants grow …

The Formula for Happiness

Maria Berg Reinertsen

The Figures, Thoughts and Coincidences Behind the Prevailing Economic Sense. It is difficult to protest when a Prime Minister says that “we can’t do this because of the interest charges”. In this book, the author looks behind the economic contexts normally taken for granted, and indicates how they are a matter of choice, habit and chance. The book is playful, marvelling and temperamental – a book about economics for non-economists

The Human Flies

Hans Olav Lahlum

Easter 1968. Harald Olesen, an old man who was once a member of the resistance, is found dead in a block of flats. He has been shot. Detective Inspector Kristiansen (K2) soon realises that the killer must be one of the other tenants in the building. That there is no lack of motives is evident when Olesen's dairy is discovered. The police investigator concludes that present-day actions are driven by wartime events. Next, another neighbour is killed – this time, someone who was on the wrong side during the last war. ‘An intelligent and well written crime novel … the novel is splendidly constructed with an escalating suspense, this was really a fun read.’ DAGBLADET ‘You enjoy yourself as the story is unraveled, and you are delighted by cleverly made dead ends. In his epilogue he hints at a possible series, if this novel proves to be a hit. My appeal will be: Write more! The Human Flies enriches today’s Norwegian crime fiction.’ AFTENPOSTEN

Mesteren

Arne Danielsen

Magnus Carlsen is only twentythree years old, but nonetheless, of all 21st century Norwegians, he has advanced to the most important position in a sport. On the 1st January 2010, he rose to the top of the world rankings in chess as the youngest player in recorded history. This book describes his journey to the top, without detailed accounts or diagrams of games. Instead, the readers are invited to follow Magnus Carlsen's remarkable career and given some understanding of his almost incomprehensible feat.

It has to be removed."But Piglet does not want to remove his urk, so he runs off. And Fox concocts a clever plan to get Piglet both sick and well again. This is the tenth book about Fox and Piglet. "A wild and funny book that is just as great as the rest of the series. ...This is great art!"NRK P2"This book is a good example of the tradition of weirdly cute animals ... a mix of entanglement comedy and mellow art of living. With Rørvik you get a lot of comedy and even wilder play with words."AFTENPOSTEN"Hurray for the tenth book about Fox and Piglet! This book is full of childish fun and fantastic concoctions. The story take the humor of both children and grown up seriously. The illustrations of Per Dybvig have great charm and adds to the layers and laughter og the story."MAMMA

Novel

Audun Mortensen

Q: Could you outline for me your new novel and its methodology?A: My novel is titled «Novel» and it's a story about how a child and an adult try to figure out how to 'touch each other'. The novel is based on two distinct narratives. One of the narratives is included on TIME's 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005, and ranked as number four on the Modern Library's 1998 list of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th century. The other is a tabloid news story, circulating 'globally' since the late 1970s. The text was arranged via customized computer software. 118 729 words, 326 pages. (Audun Mortensen interviewed by SJ Fowler for 3:AM Magazine) "This falls most original book? ... A literary experiment that underlines the brightness of Nabokovs writing. It actually works as a story of sorts. It is also playful, in many ways in the same league as the French Ou-Li-Po-poets (Raymond Queneau, Georges Perec and others) back in the 1960´s, that gave their poetics rules of their own."DAGBLADET "The little extra: Novel has everything an extraordinary novel needs, and then some. When you hear that the book is actually Nabokovs Lolita backwards, you might think that you have already read it. But Mortensens mash-up with Lolita and the persona of Roman Polanski is a strike of genius and needs to be read."KLASSEKAMPEN

Talk to Me

Vigdis Hjorth

Ingeborg is a middle-aged, unadventurous librarian who lives in small town in Norway. Her husband is dead, and her son has moved out and lost touch with his mother. On a trip to Cuba, she allows herself to be charmed by a black man, a musician who sings and plays the drums in the hotel garden. He is black and poor, but a clever man. She is white and well off, but alone. Norway's satiated consumer society is contrasted with the bankrupt Cuba in this politically aware, searching novel about the fragile balance between people – and about a woman's relationships with her son and with her lover. Vigdis Hjorth writes about being a woman now. She examines the roles of women with a critical eye, from every perspective and without flinching from dangerous and unpleasant issues. She is knowledgeable, has a probing intellect – and a sense of humour!
