Pastel on canvas,from exhibit at the MOMA(2013)My son & his elementary school cases manager used to squeeze their cheeks & open their mouths wide in imitation of this painting. So we picked up the behavior at home & ran with it. 😂

pickI have yet to finish his Septology series , my reading brain is finding it hard to finish anything so took in this slim volume. I liked it the first grouping is very much like what stands out in a child‘s memory. A middle section about a dog is fantastical tw below. The 3rd segment about a boy & girl 4 & 3 how they get in trouble, much from the point of view of the 4 year old brother. Powerful descriptions.

pickTwo painters, both called Asle, live on the West coast of Norway; one of them is the narrator. They look identical and their lives seem two different versions of the same life.
The novel is written in stream of consciousness but the prose is slow and flows so beautifully. Their story is very intriguing, they interact with each other and it feels like one of them is a sort of an alter ego. It makes the reader wonder if both lives are real.
pickA psychological thriller with many references to folktales and operas. In spite of it starting slow and not liking most of the characters, it was a quick read that kept my attention.
