Kenneth Bergstrøm II

Tor Edvin Dahl

Idar Vik is a quite ordinary middle-aged man, but one eventful evening he is mistakenly taken for someone else – a well-known, popular and respected TV and radio journalist. Does he really look like Kenneth Bergstrøm? Does he have previously unrecognised possibilities? This is a novel about what we can perhaps become if we take over somebody else’s identity. Or if we try …

Oh Yes You Can

Dorthe Skappel

This new book is the sequel to the success of her previous knitting book Skappelstrikk, and tells us more about what gives Dorthe Skappel her creative imagination. There are new patterns for children and adults, using good quality yarn in brilliant colours. Dorthe says that anybody can knit and feel proud of a sweater they have knitted themselves. The patterns and descriptions are very easy and are arranged according to size, (S), (M) and (L), with attractive pictures and userfriendly illustrations.

The Cross

Anders Malm

Bas checks social media, sitting in Hans Brattrud's 'Scandia Senior' armchair. He reads fashion magazines, in a chair from Sven Ivar Dysthe's 1001 range. He makes love with his lover, Iso, on a sofa by Børge Mogensen. But no item of furniture makes him feel at home as much as 'Krysset,' Fredrik Kayser's armchair from 1955. After directing three very successful advertising films for Norwegian interior design classics, Bas has chosen to find fulfilment through his possessions. He finds calm, stillness and peace in the carefully planned world of designer furniture. But there comes a time when his life begins to crack: His relationship with Iso starts breaking; His body goes into decline; His things seem foreign to him. Bas loses himself and has to start building a new ‘I,' using the basic materials of skin, flesh and bone. Cohabiting with objects is no longer enough; the next step is symbiosis. Krysset is in a genre somewhere between tribute and critique. With a nod to authors such as J.G. Ballard, Georges Perec and Dag Solstad, Anders Malm has written a story about a person who doesn't see himself primarily as part of a social system, but rather as an object among other objects, in a hierarchy of things.

The cold is other people

Cornelius Jakhelln

When he was young, from 1994 to 1997, Cornelius wrote poems. The power and strength of these poems are unmistakably similar to the author's voice today. This is a raw and almost unpolished poetry collection about being young, about feeling like an outsider and searching for an identity in ever more extreme ideas and surroundings.

Memories of choking

Eivind Hofstad Evjemo

In Memories of Choking (Kvelningsminner) we meet people who have to send their loved ones away to institutions, and we follow them in their search to recognise the core value of every human being. Eivind Hofstad Evjemo writes about the big questions of life, death, the tribulations of old age, and the plight of people with multiple handicaps and their relatives trying to make sense of the world. No other author describes the great themes in the struggle of daily life as Eivind Hofstad Evjemo does. "Very few writes this tenderly about sorrow and care that Eivind Hofstad Evjemo does."DAGBLADET "Memories of Chocking become even better upon re-reading, with many rewarding turns of insight and empathy."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD "The Distance of things close"DAG OG TID "One of the best young writers of Norway writes outstanding poetry about the weak and painful parts of the welfare state. (...) This book makes a great impression, increasing by every re-read."KLASSEKAMPEN

Leon’s secret

Tor Fretheim

An intimate and personal story about Leon who discovers that he's in love – with Bendik. Sexual identity and sexual confusion are important themes in contemporary youth literature, and Tor Fretheim's book goes right to the heart of the problem. One day, 16-year-old Leon gets a cinema ticket from a boy who's a total stranger. They sit side by side in the cinema, talk to each other a bit and nothing much else happens. But Leon notices that something has changed. He thinks about the boy all the time, but when they finally meet up again, it's clear that the boy's brother doesn't want them to have contact. Gradually, Leon understands something he had never realised before – that he falls in love with boys.

Palace of Lust

Olav Starheimsæter

Olav Starheimsæter’s debut novel has a rather unusual focal point, namely The Palace of Lust – an internet forum for people who want to meet others to have sex in different ways, according to their desires. Naturally, such a forum regularly gives rise to various ethical considerations. This could have become tendentious, but it is not so. For Starheimsæter the sex forum is just that, a sex forum. What interests him is the variety of people who are drawn into it. We meet them in critical situations where they have to make tough decisions to survive. What is common to them all is that they are searching for the boundaries of who they are, either to expand them or to see if they can be found at all.
