Awards

Paul Auster recommends
The Living End (1979)
Stanley Elkin
"Stanley Elkin's imagination should be declared a national landmark. When the moment comes to write the history of AMerican English in the late twentieth century, his novels will be a fundamental source."
A Still Small Voice (2000)
John Reed
"A spellbinding novel of love and war, from a young writer of great promise."
The Seducer (2003)
(Jonas Wergeland, book 1)
Jan Kjærstad
"An enormously accomplished and compelling novel."
