Pigaldo

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Get ready for a football match with Fox and Piglet! With Pigaldo, Fox and Piglet make the leap from picture book to read-aloud book. Just as silly and fun, but in a slightly smaller and thicker book! Fox and Piglet are playing football in Foxhaven, but by the time the score is 5-0, Pigaldo has had enough of Bertil Fox and his dribbling and scoring and boastful comments. He’s done! ‘But you’re Pigaldo!’ Fox shouted. ‘You can’t LEAVE in the middle of a match!’ ‘I’M NEVER PLAYING FOOTBALL AGAIN!’ Piglet screamed. ‘So there!’ ‘Oh, you will!’ Fox shouted. ‘No, I won’t!’ Piglet yelled. ‘At least not with you! You poopy farthead!’ A book with humour, shenanigans and lively characters at their best.

Overgrow

Atle Håland

WINNER OF SØRLANDETS (SOUTHERN NORWAY'S) LITERATURE PRIZEOvergrow is a coming-of-age story about seeing one self in nature, about being othered from the people and the village one grows up in. It is a novel about being in love and about desire. Desire strengthens us, but it also makes us vulnerable, and shows us clearly that we are but a tiny piece in the big system we call nature. «Håland has previously written three poetry collections. This is his first novel. But it's a novel with much poetry. And much nature. Life's impermanence, nature's decay, the sea's infinity, all of this makes the book beautiful, despite the ugly. He writes directly, sensually, closely. This book gives me associations to the French author comet Eduard Louis.» FÆDRELANDSVENNEN, fiv/six stars «In both the dialogues and the descriptions, Håland writes with impressive credibility and experience, and the short form gives the story efficiency and dramatic drive.»MORGENBLADET «He possesses a poetic undertone in his language that amazes and fascinates the reader. At times the novel is like a piece of nature poetry. It's reminiscent of Tarjei Vesaas.» JURY OF SØRLANDETS LITERATURE PRIZE

Him, solo

Robin Van de Walle

«I am rootless, homeless, restless, loveless» Him, solo starts as a classic breakup-novel. Robin is 26 years old and has been left by the man he thought was the one. The heartbreak leads to a journey of discovery unlike most; a literary exploration of one’s own life and background, and about being a queer foreigner in Norway. The reader is brought to Robin’s childhood and upbringing in Belgium, through his years of studying and relationships in Sweden and Norway, to the present Bergen where lockdown, isolation and pandemic restrictions enhance the emptiness and loneliness following the breakup. First and foremost, Him, solo is about the great loneliness. The loneliness you can feel even when you’re surrounded by others. A remarkable debut novel which explores highs and lows; you’ve got Star Wars and Titanic, outer space and the seabed, philosophy of language and Grindr-sex.

Heroes of the animal kingdom

Line Renslebråten

Throughout the last centuries almost every single progress in medicine, from antibiotics to transplants, has been tested on animals. Some of the first astronauts were furry and had paws. Animals have been more important for the development of humans than most people realise.Line Renslebråten depicts and tells the story about this part of human – and animal – history in a way not seen before. With care and respect for the animals she’s composed gorgeous pictures and text. This book is a collection of dramatic, touching, and true stories of incredible heroic deeds made by animals.

Secret lives

Odd Klippenvåg

Odd Klippenvåg is one of Norway's most important writers of the short story. His first collection, No phoenix, was first published in 1979. In many ways is the Phoenix, this mystical bird that raises from its own ashes, a good metaphor for Klippenvågs short story authorship: The genre is the same and some themes are recurring, but the short stories are new and fresh, without giving the feeling of having read them before—rather the contrary. Secret lives is a collection of Klippenvåg’s very best short stories thus far.

Herman - Tales from an undiagnosed childhood

Herman Flesvig / Erlend Loe

“Inside my head you will find the largest city in the world, traffic is humming day and night, the streets have no names and I play one hundred instruments at the same time.” Welcome inside the head of Herman. This is a head not quite like all others. As a child Herman is a little bit different. A little too much. Someone who cannot pay attention, learn quickly enough, do what he’s supposed to. But inside Herman's head, things are moving so much faster than for other people. He is Mr. Miyagi, he has a whole world inside his t-shirt, he has a triangle on his weenie, he fights with a samurai sword in the forest. The thing is, though, that no one else knows this. They are busy with listening to what the teacher is saying. Herman is a book for children – and those who once were children. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt a bit different and alone. And for all others, too. The book is written by Erlend Loe and illustrated by Bård Sletvold Torkildsen.NORLA SELECTED TITLE SPRING 2023
