Museum

Anna Fiske

Join Anna Fiske in the new National Museum! Museum is an impressive response to the National Museum’s call for a playful book for children about the new National Museum and everything it holds. Never before has such a brilliant, diverse and inspiring book been published about art, art experience and creativity in Norway, neither for adults nor children. What is art? What is design? What is architecture? And what is a museum? A diverse group wonders all this and more when they visit the biggest museum in the Nordic region, the new National Museum in Oslo. This is a book that encourages conversation, and a book that children will enjoy looking at on their own.REVIEWS'In Anna Fiskes inclusive children's book there are no difficult artworks and no wrong questions' NRK

The Night Runner

Karin Fossum

In the dead of night he suddenly stands at the bedside of his victims, wordlessly pointing his gun at them... But who gets to live, and who will die?Fear is running rampant in a small Norwegian town: three people have survived attacks by the burglar known as The Night Runner – but how long until the first victim dies? Inspector Eddie Feber is sure that the mysterious number combinations at the crime scenes provide a clue - will he solve the mystery in time? What Feber doesn't know is that close to him, young Meidel Jonsson also feels that he is suffocating from fear: the day when his father is released from prison is getting closer and closer - and with him evil will return...REVIEWS «A charming detective and a nerve-wrecking crazy killer. This is Fossum-crime of the top shelf!»Dagbladet *****«The Night Runner is yet another insightful crime about those who exist on the outside. A large story in a small format, told by an author who is still at the top in her genre. After 18 published novels that's no small feat!»VG ***** «... entertaining and elegant novel from one of our incisive Norwegian crime writers.»Tønsbergs blad *****«The novel belongs to the top shelf because Karin Fossum is unusually elegant in her writing. She writes simply, varied and poetically. Different environments are described with atmosphere. The sentences can be crystal clear and full of significance at the same time. But most importantly: Karin Fossum doesn't settle for writing about police and robbers. That makes her crime novel something more than crime novels. ... Karin Fossum's language is precise and well written. Thus, a paragraph can say more than thousand words.»Aftenposten«The nuanced and close-up portraits of the criminal mind is something that characterise Fossums writing style, and which lifts her from pure crime to readers with a taste for the literary.»NRK «It is the descriptions and revelations of these combinations and variations in human behaviours that makes Karin Fossum's crime novels such strong reading experiences. She lets us into the dark corners, and shows us people who live on the borderlands.»Dagsavisen

The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle

Robert Stoltenberg / Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg

Turbo Twins Robert and Harald have to move from the big city to the countryside, because their mother gets a whim and needs more space for her thoughts. The house they’re moving to is run down, has an outdoor toilet and the whole area smells like cow dung. The Turbo Twins look forward to starting a new school, but already on their first day it turns out the entire school and everyone in the village is completely obsessed with one single ting: DODGEBALL. In addition to this, the twins end up in the same class as the school bully and dodgeball state champion, Sølvi. Sølvi challenges the twins to create their own dodgeball team and sign up for the big tournament that takes place every year. But who should be on their team? What happened to the new boy in their class who disappeared without a trace after the last tournament? And how in the world do you even play dodgeball? The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle is hysterically funny and heart-warming story about being a good brother, a good friend, and a good person. «One of the most fast-paced and fun books of 2022.»VG, FIVE/SIX STARS «It's obvious that the authors have wished to write an easily read, plot-driven story. The 34 chapters contain few dead points, and the text is tightly composed with the preparations for the Dodgeball Battle as the red thread. The story is full of dialogues in an oral language that flows well, and the end of each chapter contains small cliffhangers that makes me curious as to what will happen next.»PERISKOP

Spellbound

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

What do you do when you find out that Huldra, The Nix and goblins are not urban legends invented to scare children, but actual creatures who live in the shadows of Oslo’s streets? Peter and his mum have just moved into grandpa’s apartment in Oslo after he’s sent to a care home. Peter is unhappy because he knows they will be moving again soon. Then he meets an unusual girl. She’s invisible to everyone else, but Peter can see her. And she’s not the only underground creature that walks around underground in Oslo… When a little girl next door is kidnapped – by the Draugr – Peter is pulled into a reality and a part of Oslo he didn’t know existed. But why can Peter see the underground creatures? And what does his grandpa know, but isn’t able to tell him? Spellbound is an action-packed and original urban fantasy-graphic novel for young adults. It’s the first title in a trilogy.REVIEWS«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown and Luis Guaragna have created an enchanting new series based on Norwegian folklore.»Bok365, six/six starsOslo’s shady sides«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown has established himself as one of fantasy literature’s foremost frontrunners in Norway, with particular consideration for children and teens. (…) At least I want to keep on reading the next book.»D2«That Kirkwood Brown with his background in fairy tales and Guaranga with his background in metal-like aesthetic meets in an Oslo-based emo-elf-like universe seems both brilliant and right.»EMPIRIX.COM «And it’s… really solid? Structure wise, it does all the things that a story like this is supposed to: It’s very professional. But there’s plenty of originality in the elements the book uses (instead of just copying monsters from Tolkien and Sandman, it uses Norwegian supernatural beings), and it’s surprisingly moving. Well done.»LARS.INGEBRIGTSEN.NO «… it [feels] as if I have opened the door and is standing on the threshold of a new and exciting world when I read this story. I cannot wait to see where they will go on from here, and to be better acquainted with Oslo’s ‘underground’.»SERIENETT.NO

Voodoo Science

Terje Dragseth

Terje Dragseth’s new extensive collection of poetry and prose Voodoo Science is included in the so-called Weird Poetry, where the subject is projected into a strange, depraved and weird world, like in Edvard Munch’s expressionism where the anxiety is encircled by a blood red sky. The poems and texts curve and bend the laws of nature and empiricism. The texts exist in a world which reminds us about the one found in science fiction, where unfamiliar forces affect the subject. It’s a journey into the unpredictable, the beautiful and dark areas of the human consciousness.

A Norwegian in Washington

Hans D. Høeg

A Norwegian in the House is the story of the Norwegian who became Chief of Staff for an American Congressman in 2012 and ended up leading a plot to topple the USA’s third most powerful man. When Hans Høeg met a hillbilly by the name of Thomas Massie at the prestigious MiT in Cambridge in 1991, he realised it would be the start of a long and rewarding friendship. What’s more, he decided then and there that he would get on board if his energetic, weather-beaten friend ever decided to embark on an exciting project sometime in the future. But when Thomas’s offer came, more than 20 years later, it was not the entrepreneurial dream Hans had imagined. His outspoken, freedom-loving fellow student from Vanceburg, Kentucky, had thrown himself into politics and had, against all the odds, been elected to represent his district in Congress on behalf of the Republicans. Massie wanted to create one hell of a commotion in Washington and needed a wingman he could count on. His choice fell on a somewhat reluctant Hans from Drammen. Now Høeg tells the incredible story of his years at the heart of the innermost circles of power in the USA. It’s the tale of two engineer nerds’ efforts to understand the political game, their spectacular attempt to overthrow the Republican speaker, John Boehner, and a rude encounter with a self-sustaining system of corruption and bureaucratic chicanery – an ugly culture that was a logical precursor to the tumult of the 2016 presidential election.

Becoming a Mother

Oda Weider-Krog

“When a child is born, a mother is also born. Into a brand new day-to-day, a whole new life. She’s thrown into an existence one cannot prepare for in advance. It’s as if a line is put down, a line separating the before and the now.” Becoming a Mother is a small book about the biggest experience in the world. Oda Weider-Krog writes about the all-consuming time during the child’s first year, the demanding and the emotional, and the intoxicating feeling of getting to know your child. How many hours does a child need to be breastfed? Are there other mothers out there longing for some alone time and sleep? With warmth and humour she writes about the first months as a new mother, about breastfeeding and blocked milk ducts, changing diapers and endless nights awake, about loneliness, longing and doubt, falling in love and bottomless love – all these precious moments and the chaotic feelings that arrive together when you become a mother.
