Garmann's Street

Stian Hole

The first book about Garmann, Garmanns Sommer, won both hearts and awards, such as the BolognaRagazzi Award, the first book from the Nordic countries to do so. Garmann has now started at school and the world seems even more unsafe. ‘Are you a wimp? Light it!’ says the horrible Rolf to Garmann. The grass fire at the stamp man’s house is put out and Garmann realises that friendships are made when you least expect it. *Beautifully illustrated using the same techniques as inGarmann’s Summer. ‘A work of art in itself … Now [Stian Hole] is ready with a new book about Garmann, and it has become just as great as the first one.’NRK‘Still world class … So consistent it is time to start talking about a Hole universe of its own.’Bergens Tidende

Haakon & Maud IV

Tor Bomann-Larsen

The fourth volume of Bomann-Larsen’s monumental work about Norway’s first royal couple in modern times begins with the outbreak of the First World War. Europe’s royalty and aristocracy crumble and the Russian Tsar and his family have been executed. King Haakon is still considering abdication. And while the war rages in Europe, two factions at home confront each other in what threatens to become a civil war – a war between Norway’s social classes. Tor Bomann-Larsen (1951–) wields one of Norway’s sharpest and wittiest pens, whether he is writing or drawing. In recent years he has been best known for his epic works chronicling the reign of King Haakon and Queen Maud, and for his biographies of Sigurd Christiansen and Roald Amundsen.

Everything I write is true

Ellisiv Lindkvist

Everything I write is true, Ellisiv Lindkvist claims. In this book she for example give us the vision of going dancing in the village she comes from, and then tells the tale of her experiences as a prostitute. The texts move between being personal and private. But are they really? The question that lingers is always this: What can a girl really write about? How long will she be a girl? And is there something other than the role of being a mother for us women out there? "In one way or another, Linkvist manages to convey existential seriousness in her texts."DAGBLADET"Tight little stories (...) they contain both desperation and dark humour. (...) I can do nothing but wait for more, however true or not."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD"For she writes well Lindkvist. Sharp, dark, humoristic, and with the ability to balance the personal with the recognizable and communicative."DAGSAVISEN
