Olav V. Lonely Majesty
Narrative Non-fiction2022 · 688 pp

Olav V. Lonely Majesty

Tore Rem

The third volume in the great story of King Olav V first and foremost revolves around the king’s deed, a lonely work where the king is missing a queen by his side. It’s about the rituals of the court, about everyday routines, about a hectic travel schedule, about jubilee after jubilee, about a man who at first struggles to follow in his mythical father’s footsteps, but nonetheless ends up decidedly a success; a well-loved king of the people. Olav V. Lonely Majesty is a story about continuity, about a Norway that is growing and evolving, but also about a royal life characterised by longing and loneliness. It’s about decisions having to be made alone, about challenges on a personal level, about disabilities. Through different diaries, a range of personal archives and a large and until know unseen collection of letters we are invited in to not least the small Norwegian royal family, their British relatives, friend circle and court like never seen before. Finally in this book the author closely explores the death of a king which triggered a national mourning like none ever seen before.

They’ll Return in the Autumn

Håvard J. Nilsen

The new students have arrived from all over; in cars, by train and bus, they have been left here with all their belongings, and they’ve spread out all over the hallways, taken over the rooms, filled them with their posters, their stereos, perfume, candles and dreams. They’ll Return in the Autumn is a novel set at the folk high school in Sandvik, about being the child of a teacher, about writing. It’s about the unsure and the sincere, those who stand staring at the stars with their father, those who walk around waiting for the world to end. It’s about finding one another and hanging lanterns in the trees.

Casualty of War

Peter Franziskus Strassegger

One day, while tidying up, an author comes across a confession written by his grandfather. He isn’t unfamiliar with what he reads, but the new text brings new truths to light. Peter gains a deeper insight into his grandfather’s involvement in the war—at least as his grandfather chooses to remember it.This confession forms the basis of an intricate and exciting story from the Second World War. The grandfather’s story is characterised by a desire for adventure and a need to grow as a person in his hometown of Bryne, in Germany and on the frontline in Russia. But it also contains many unpleasant truths—particularly for Peter, who distances himself from his grandfather’s political position. With empathy, intelligence and a searching gaze, the author explores his grandfather’s story from the war. He travels to the same places, including Russia, and tries to understand what motivated his grandfather.

The Bellboy´s Luggage

Lars Saabye Christensen

In The Bellboy's Luggage - Three Stories we venture into three different literary universes. Still, the narratives are connected through the author's unmistakable style and his topics of choice. Here we meet known and loved themes and artifacts from Saabye Christensen's repertoire, stories characterized by an author with great confidence in his own material. An author that dares to venture outside the frames of both novel and short story - without letting go of the joy and power of storytelling. Wild Wine, Polaroid and Used can be read as three unique stories. But they also form a triptych whose body consists of the Saabyean in itself. In these stories we find that the streets of Oslo and the characters at the outskirts of great events come into clearer view than ever before. The Bellboy's Luggage is a gift to anyone who has ever been excited about the writing of Lars Saabye Christensen.

Weird words

Helene Uri

What is a mucofagus? And what does it mean to be an ailurophile? People may think that children don´t like words they do not understand. But weird words are not dangerous. Weird words are fun! In this book you will find 356 strange, funny and mysterious words that pique curiosity and expand your vocabulary.

This is a book for forward thinking parents who want to give their children a head start, and also a perfect gift for children aged 6 years and up.

Room 66

Hedda Robertsen

The protagonist in Hedda Robertsen’s new novel, Room 66, clearly shares characteristics with the author. She—a young author living near Oslo’s oldest church—devours books and films about nuns and monastic life. She dreams of renouncing desire, of purity, a strict and regimented life characterised by routine and dedication to a task, a calling. But other forces also tug at her: she hungers for genuine connections with other people—with men. After several encounters with a nameless mechanic, she hires a car and heads south. Alone. Her destination? A convent in France. We also meet Chris. Single mother by day, stripper by night. At the club, she goes by Alice. Chléo is a receptionist and works at a beach hotel in France. Iris is a nun, and every morning she puts on her black habit and goes to prayer with her head bowed. Emma lives in London and lives in a sexless relationship with architect James. She starts sleeping with random men. The five women find one another and share their stories of love, grief, loss and passion.«It's an interesting and at times intelligent book about finding yourself sexually, but also as a human.»STAVANGER AFTENBLAD, five/six stars«To write about sex without it being awkward can be considered an achievement, and Room 66 is closer to Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac than Fifty Shades of Gray. The novel's extent of references and cultural undertones has higher intellectual ambitions, which is a breath of fresh air for Norwegian fiction.» MORGENBLADET«It's refreshing that Robertsen allows her characters to be unrestrained, and never forces them to be moral or politically correct. When the characters want to be beaten, filled - desired and enjoyed, they are more worried about how it will affect themselves, than how the actions are read by fellow citizens and society. They are all prepared to sacrifice the conventional to experience the special.»KLASSEKAMPEN, BOKMAGASINET

Lisa Him-Jensen

What patterns do we humans live and operate within? And what kind of order constitutes this ‘we’? The poems this collection reflect a lifelong quest for knowledge – from conception to the body’s eventual deterioration. A child discovers language, a young woman starts studying and discovering desire. A forest cockchafer swarms around a farmyard tree. Humanity tries to understand the boundless, resolute world of which we live – a world that goes on and on, a world home to countless organisms that all rely on one another to survive. In Siphonophorae, Lisa Him-Jensen plays around with contrasts and contradictions to great effect. A collection in which the reader is presented with one common motif throughout – that of humanity’s dependence on other people, and of our being a part of nature.
