Marathon Shots
Literature and Fiction2023 · 96 pp

Marathon Shots

Geir Nummedal

A man in the middle of his life is preparing for his first marathon in Dresden, but ends up going all in the night. Still, he receives a starting number and begins running. In Marathon Shots we follow a 42195-metre-long race with many associative digressions along the way. With music in his ears the rhythm of the race propagates through both in his body and mind, where the stream of consciousness of the marathon runner becomes its own race within a race. Before he reached the end line, he has also run through his life. He passes the parks of Dresden, crosses bridges, sees a bald man running with a pineapple attached to his head, he takes shots from drinking stations that often miss his mouth, instead splashing on his shirt or the ground. The experience of running mixes with the experiences of life, from erotic fantasies to childhood memories, glimpses of his father at work in the welding hall, the letters his father sent home from a worktrip to China. The author Dag Solstad has stated that joggers are outside walking their fear of death, which is very possible. The narrator of Geir Nummedal’s Marathon Shots isn’t scared of walking his fear of death, walking his rooms of remembrance, which has resulted in this particularly lively read.

Tor Åge Bringsværd

We have always admired and envied the birds. The dream of wings has followed us ever since the first human lifted their gaze and saw birds floating above the tree tops.

In fairytales, folklore, myths, and religious texts from all over the world birds abound. In this collection, which covers thousands of years and reaches across all continents, we get to meet everything from the smallest and most ordinary house sparrow to the giant Middle Eastern mythical bird Roc. With Beaks and Claws is part of a series where Tor Åge Bringsværd brings to light the stories of animals in myths, fairytales, legends and folklore.

My Dotted Sister

Hilde Charlotte Blomberg

Hilde Charlotte Blomberg’s debut poetry collection My Dotted Sister is about learning to live with mental disorder. My Dotted Sister is a prose poem collection about longing, joy, loneliness, help, art, and cats. But mostly it’s about being oneself. The plot? It’ll be a terrific journey, all the way to Japan, looking for the famous Yayoi Kusama, with a mourning nurse called Grete tagging along. The style? Minimalistic, naïve, wild, imaginative, dreaming. The inspiration? Yayoi Kusama and her dotted universe. Art! The life of the artist! (Looking for a family, someone to be close to, is an important topic for the author.) Loneliness, being different, being allowed to be different.

My Shame
Narrative Non-fiction2023 · 256 pp

My Shame

Nadia Ansar

Nadia Ansar was named after the Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci. She was the symbol of the “perfect 10”; unattainable, flawless, and perfect. On the outside she was the immaculate daughter, the good immigrant and the well-integrated psychologist, an expert in feelings such as shame and guilt. What no one could see was that she carried with her a heavy rucksack of shame and dark secrets. Through the book My Shame she now wishes to use her own personal and professional voice to tell the story about the talented minority girl’s fight to be able to be herself. About growing up in Oslo as the daughter of the local grocer and the only girl in her school class with a minority background. About her dad’s breakneck split between the equal Norwegian society and the patriarchal expectations of their culture. About the fight for equality in her marriage, after marrying the love of her life. As an adult Nadia Ansar has often witnessed several well-educated sisters of minority backgrounds give up on the painful balancing act in the supposedly equal Norway. They become housewives with hijabs, and some move back to their parents’ home country. Nadia Ansar believes it is the feelings of shame which primarily prohibits them from leading free lives.
