The Court Physician

Tor Bomann-Larsen

The engrossing re-telling of a story that has been told in many ways, but never before in the form of a novel. In Tor Bomann-Larsen’s first novel, the starting-point is an historical scenario that never ceases to fascinate us: the last days of the Russian Tsar family. The Court Physician is the story of an internal exile and of the nature of hope. It is also an unforgettable and unfulfilled love story.

Naïve.Super.

Erlend Loe

Troubled by an inability to find any meaning in his life, the 25-year-old narrator of this deceptively simple novel quits university and eventually arrives at his brother's New York apartment. In a bid to discover what life is all about, he writes lists. He becomes obsessed by time and whether it actually matters. He faxes his meteorologist friend. He endlessly bounces a ball against the wall. He befriends a small boy who lives next door. He yearns to get to the bottom of life and how best to live it. Funny, friendly, enigmatic and frequently poignant - superbly naive. "It displays a canny lightness of touch and a great deal of charm. An effortlessly hip and savvy antidote to the rainy day blues." Sleazenation "Loe certainly has some of Salinger's lightness of touch, and the often comic voice of his unnamed narrator recalls Salinger's Holden Caulfield. A charming debut novel." The Times "A book overflowing with creative talent... Well-calculated naivety" Dagbladet (Norway) "It is a fascinating how much depth this young author can convey in simple language - a major talent." Oldenburgische Volkszeitung (Germany) "I devoured Erlend Loe with giggling excitement." Arbetet (Sweden)

Thorbjørn Egner

The Hakkebakke Forest is a small world which, in many ways, resembles our own bigger world. Klatremus and Morten and Daddy Ted and Mikkel and all the others in the forest are animals and look like animals too, but they also wear clothes and walk on two legs and live in houses, and remind us a lot of people in what they do and say, and how they think. Also in the Hakkebakke Forest is, as it is with us in the big world, a desire for peace and safety and respect for everyone.
