Love me tomorrow

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

Love me Tomorrow is both tender-hearted and dark; a humoristic novel about loves ability to change us. At least in theory. In the fourth book about Elling, he once again has trouble with reality. But now he is looking for love. The focus of his attention is supposedly named Elise. She works in a hot dog stand and love to read books about UFO-phenomenon. Kjell Bjarne, Ellings estranged friend, knows very little about UFO´s but a lot about women. He is now a responsible stepfather, living with Reidun, and has a job as a bottle sorter. Elling on the other hand has let things slide for a while. But now that Elise is in the picture, Kjell Bjarne might get back in his good favour again. A suitor needs all the backing he can get. Ingvar Ambjørnsen won the Riksmålsprisen Award for this book in 1999.Reviews: “Absolutely on par with the first three”, “screamingly funny – with serious undertones.” DAGBLADET “I insist that this is significant literature.” NRK P2 KULTURNYTT “This is strong stuff.” ADRESSEAVISEN A new hit for Ambjørnsen “Ambjørnsen surprises once more; Ambjørnsen is a significant author. Love me tomorrow is a gloomier tale than its predecessors. From early in the plot, the reader is drawn into dark premonitions… It is the use of contrasting underlays of grief and pain that enables Ambjørnsen to create great comedy.” AFTENPOSTEN Screamingly funny – with serious undertones. “It so happened that I was high above the Skagerrak when Elling stepped into my life for the fourth time. Perhaps that wasn’t the smartest choice of location for our rendezvous. When, with no apparent provocation, a passenger starts to shake and laugh so hard that beer glasses and coffee cups end up on the floor, it quite reasonably attracts a certain amount of attention from their fellow-travellers. Well, I’ll just have to live with that, and deep down I think I’m a lucky person to be able to sit on a plane working and having such fun that I lose track of both time and place. Because Ambjørnsen has done it again. It’s impossible to fathom what that man can wring out of just one person and one central idea. There’s nothing for it but to give in and declare that Love me tomorrow is absolutely on a par with the first three Elling books.” DAGBLADET “A new hit about strange, crazy, loveable, lonely Elling… It’s far from unlikely that these books will endure as central works in Norwegian fiction of the 1990s.” BERGENS TIDENDE

The Day Mom left

Kaia Linnea Dahle Nyhus

The Day Mom Left is a picture book about losing someone and then losing your sense of reality. With the help of a good grasp of the visual and a poetic text, Kaia Dahle Nyhus captures the understanding of loss and want with warmth and humour. Chosen as a White Raven for 2017. The difficult conversationsThis beautiful story about how longing and sorrow can make a child loose foothold, is told in a simplistic text that is open for building it further. The conscious use of visual means like contoure, perspective, colour, frames and cut outs, fills out the verbal text even more. That makes this picture book admirable, and it strengthens Kaia Dahle Nyhus´position in the line of great Norwegian picture book authors. BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO When Mother breaks awayThe abstract illustrations with colours and shapes that invite the reader to fictionalize even more, is the strength of the book art of Kaia Dahle Nyhus. The Day Mom Left invites to read together, and the grown up and child can enter a conversation about a topic that touches many. TØNSBERGS BLAD

Erotica

Inger Wold Lund

What is Erotica? What do we actually mean when we say that something is «erotic»? If we simply agree — in a servile way — to all that we are presented with in the media, these questions would seem easy to answer. Erotic images are around us all the time. Inger Wold Lund chooses a different approach, however. Through a series of dialogues, most of them a page or two long, individual episodes unfold. And as they do, our preconceptions about the erotic are challenged or expanded upon in surprising ways. Some of Lund's texts are decidedly sensual. Others are comical and even border on slapstick. Although Erotica is inspired be classics from the erotic canon, it is undoubtedly a singular work, with its own vision and scope. Throughout the collection, Lund displays a keen ear for language and an eye for how small events loom large in the most intimate of moments. Erotica is also a book about experience and memory. Lund finds remnants of the past everywhere, in an abandoned house, in an old pair of pants or in fingermarks in the fog on a car window. She shows us that erotica can be so much more than depictions of wild and unrestrained sex. Rather than writing about erect penises penetrating voluptuous vaginas, these texts mirror those situations where these elements might be present, but where the literary attention is given to the actions that take part before, under and after. Eroticas special angle to sexuality make the book a special and longed for read. If you are one of those who have given up on erotica, you should give the genre a new chance. And it should start here. FÆDRELANDSVENNEN In Erotica, Inger Wold Lund asks what the erotic is and can be, liberating the reader from given expectations of what it might be. She gives the reader the possibility to experience the erotic again, in life as in literature. At the same time the book guides us into the writing and art of Inger Wold Lund.BLA Enticing, humoristic and surprising - Indeed you can write well about erotica!KK
