Lars Saabye Christensen
Lars Saabye Christensen is a gifted storyteller, a narrator who is imaginative, but equally down to earth. His realism alternates between poetic image and ingenious incident, conveyed in supple metropolitan language and slang that never smacks of the artificial or forced.

But beneath the liveliness of his portrayal melancholy always lurks in the books.
