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. His heroes possess a good deal of self-irony. Indeed, critics have drawn parallels with the black humour of Woody Allen. But beneath the liveliness of his portrayal melancholy always lurks in the books.
Since his début in 1976 Saabye Christensen has written ten collections of poetry, five collections of short stories and twelve novels. His great break through came with the novel Beatles in 1984. The book store sale of over 200,000 copies of the Norwegian edition has made th

Sigbjørn Mostue

Sigbjørn Mostue is a norwegian editor and author of children's books. His literary debut was in 2005, when the first book in the trilogy of Alvetegnet (which would be something like "The Sign of the Elves" in English) was published. The two following books in the series came in 2006 and 2007. These books are written in some sort of magical realism, where the story take place both in the "real world" and a parallel, fairytale-like world on "the other side", populated by magical creatures. Many of these figures can also be found in norwegian folklore.

His books are popular among norwegian children and teenagers, but have not yet been translated to English. In 2006, the movie rights of Alvetegnet were sold to SF Norway.

My work deals first of all with embodiment - with what it means to be a body in an endlessly complex world. I've worked in various genres, combining literary exploration and elements of science fiction and speculative fiction, publishing five short story collections, a novel, and several children's books.

My book of autobiographical non-fiction, I Live a Life Like Yours, was first published in Norwegian in 2018. “The book will, in all likelihood, linger as a mile stone signifying that a new maturity is reaching autobiographical literature in Norwegian non-fiction,” wrote Morgenbladet’s Ane Farsethås.
