Damn Kid

Frederik Svindland

Nineties Norway. Vito grows up in Porsgrunn with a Norwegian father and a Russian mother. The summer before he starts junior high, he discovers hip-hop, but when the school year starts, he soon ends up in a sketchy environment characterised by substance abuse and crime. It is here he meets Alvarez, a boy from the neighbourhood, the only one of them with a heart, and together they try to find a way out. Svindland’s novel is a tale of friendship, love and survival in a town full of drugs and hopeless souls. Surely there’s nothing funny about that? Well, then. «Svindland himself hits the bullseye with this intimate, rough and jargon-filled novel.»DAG OG TID

AI. The Human Factor

Bjørn Roar Vassnes

Before we can answer the challenges posed by Artificial Intelligence, we must answer the question: "What is intelligence"? With this as his starting point, Norway's best-known investigative journalist approaches one of the most important and mythical phenomena of our time. Vassnes shows how real intelligence - like real creativity - is deeply connected to the human, and cannot be reproduced or replaced by computers. As always, the author links a number of subject areas, art and history in a book that is as well written as it is thought-provoking about one of the most important topics of our time.

The Carb Trap

Pål Branæs

In The Carb Trap, Pål Branæs, a specialist in general medicine, addresses some of the things he encounters most frequently in the doctor’s office. His patients struggle with obesity and loss of energy, in addition to a number of other lifestyle ailments which lead to a poor quality of life. This stops people from doing what they want and create resentment. We are witnessing a global pandemic of lifestyle diseases and ailments, according to Branæs. Difficulty maintaining weight, headaches, digestive problems, low mood and sleep problems are common complaints. This is all brought about by consuming more and more carbohydrates. Carbohydrate intolerance/insulin resistance has become increasingly widespread. It is a precursor to diabetes, and Branæs thinks we need to talk more about this condition. In this book, The Carb Trap, you will learn to understand how carbohydrates take control of you, and how you can take the necessary steps to improve your health. You will also see that dietary changes not only affect weight and energy levels but can also reduce the risk of serious lifestyle diseases in the future.

Kjartan Slettemark - A Biography

Anders Gjesvik

Kjartan Slettemark grew up on a little farm in Western Norway, and by experimenting with different identities became one of the most experimental artists in Norway and Sweden. He sought Swedish citizenship in 1965 after a furious debate surrounding his artwork criticising the war in Vietnam, which was later canonised as one of the 12 most important artworks from post-war Norway. This book shows how tortuous and lonely the road to recognition was.

Comet Girl

Victoria Durnak

Thirteen-year-old Sol discovers that her parents have been sharing pictures of her on social media since she was born, without asking for her consent. As a revenge of sorts, or perhaps an attempt to regain control, she decides to stop talking. Soon afterwards, a voice addresses her. This gives Sol access to an inner, free world that soon interweaves with – and affects – her physical reality. «It is a strong novel, which uncompromisingly follows Sol's gaze. It is not just beautiful, what she sees. (...) It is easy to see that Durnak is also a visual artist. Sol's imaginations literally explode in color, which makes the text lively and tactile. (...) It is a touching book, and one that will probably resonate particularly with young readers.»NRK, five/six stars «... a nuanced exploration of how adult society can (mis)interpret teenage rebellion in a public that is literally overflowing with discussion about possible connections between young people's screen use, privacy and mental health. Durnak's story about Sol invites us to wonder what might be lost if children and young people's possible forms of resistance are understood exclusively through the lens of diagnoses.»Morgenbladet

Buddy

Fabian Christensen

If it wasn’t for his best buddy Mikkel, Jørgen would probably have died of a stomach ulcer. Or loneliness. Or making an absolute fool of himself in front of the prettiest girl at school. But as long as Mikkel has his back, things are mostly fine, according to Jørgen. Still - it's not easy to be fourteen and living in the shadow of your picture-perfect best friend. During their last days of 9th grade, Jørgen and Mikkel's friendship will be put to the test in more ways than one. At the same time, Jørgen must navigate his crush on Mikkel's cousin, becoming the joke of a TikTok meme, and some deadly serious family matters. And in the end, maybe the time has finally come for Jørgen to be Mikkel's lifesaver. Buddy is an impressive debut by Fabian Christensen, the winner of Cappelen Damm’s New Voices Manuscript competition 2023. It's a novel full of heart, dramatic twists and turns - and plenty of awkward, situational comedy that will have you both cringing and howling with laughter. All the while underscoring the importance of honest conversations.
