A Knitter’s Year

Ida Wirak Trettevik

Ida Wirak Trettevik has been designing knitting patterns under the name of Witre Design since 2018. Her patterns are primarily for women, with some items for children and men. A Knitter’s Year contains a total of 30 patterns, many of them new and exclusively designed for this book. Knitted clothing has become important for many people in a time of increasing focus on slow fashion and sustainability. Because we take extra good care of clothes we make for ourselves, choosing materials and colours we are fond of and want to wear for a long time. And because a person who knits knows how much work goes into every single piece of clothing. A Knitter’s Year is a result of this: the desire to knit your own wardrobe, with clothing for every season. The book covers a whole year, and the photos show Ida and her family in well-known locations in Oslo and eventually at their new home on the island of Engeløya in Nordland, northern Norway.

Yoko Ono is a charlatan

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

In a basement apartment, in the house of the widow Annelore Frimann-Clausen in Grefsen, Elling is blogging. "Why start blogging - now?" he asks himself. "Because life is short, and I have already started moving into the age of dust." Elling writes about anything that falls into mind; his favorite foods from when he was growing up, about where on earth people come from, things from the news and memories of his mother. He writes about gardening, bacon and sauce, about life in the small basement apartment. But he also has stron opinions about a lot of things. Amongst others Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono is a Charlatan is a collection of texts written in the years between 2013 and 2020. Some of the texts has been a part of Ambjørnsen´s successful tours. Others have been published on the Facebook-page Elling-nytt and on the Cappelen Damm Blog.

Zidane’s Dance

Arild Stavrum

Twelve-year-old Mikke Milnbergan was lucky enough to get a bit of Maradona’s magic a few years ago. Now he’s back – and this time, it’s Zinedine Zidane who needs a hand. As thanks, Mikke gets to borrow Zidane’s incredible feint! What do you do if you’re playing Playstation with your pals and Zinedine Zidane himself appears on the screen asking for your help? Zidane has been kidnapped, and tomorrow he’s supposed to be leading Real Madrid against Barcelona in El Clásico – the biggest match in Spanish soccer. Somebody has to find him and get him home to Madrid. And that somebody turns out to be Mikke, aided by Hansa Shearer and Kari. But Zidane is trapped in the Playstation universe, and Mikke and the gang get sent to Edinburgh in 1550, Stamford Bridge in 1066 (so not Chelsea’s homeground!) and, finally, to Belgium in the First World War, where German and English soldiers play soccer between the trenches. In other words, it isn’t an entirely risk-free the mission isn't exactly risk-free. What is going on – and how can the famous Zidane feint help them? This book is packed with excitement and action, a dash of love and, oddly enough, a spot of snakes and ladders, And, of course, there’s plenty of soccer!

Now You’re Fucking with my Heart

Alexander Fallo

Alexander Fallos’ debut poetry collection now You’re Fucking with my Heart revolves around a failed relationship, the loss of a father and the emptiness of finding yourself totally alone for the first time in your life. The poems’ narrator is slowly sketched out through unanswered phrases and sometimes-pathetic silent cries. See me now. See me now. Look at me now. The poems in the collection are often short and concise, and some can be described as a stream of sentences that may have been spoken, could have been spoken, ought to have been spoken or should never have been spoken. The white emptiness of grief-stricken phrases is interspersed with small drops of humour, as well as a possible description of our modern times.

Literature and Fiction2020 · 608 pp

The Dead of the Year

Stig Aasvik

Stig Aasvik writes his life. The Death of the Year expands on the themes covered in his two most recent novels, The Lofoten Wall and The Mayor of Oslo. Once again, we are in Stig’s head. We read about childhood and grief, problems large and small – like combining cohabitation and parental responsibility with self-loathing and other acute existential challenges. As always, Aasvik’s gaze is honest, curious, sharp and dreamlike.
