Not without its implausible moments and some work to keep the characters and sub-plots straight, but overall an intelligent and satisfying read.

Aw, this 2024 Stonewall winner perfectly captures that awkward time just before high school when it seems everybody around you is maturing and you aren‘t sure how to catch up, or even if you want to. Add in that Tuva might not want a boyfriend, but a girlfriend. Fantastic graphic novel.

This one is a low pick for me. I love reading outside North America because of the freedom that authors have to write in ways that likely would not get published here. Sometimes that can also mean the books are more challenging to read, as I found with this Fosse. I really enjoyed parts of this collection - particularly the story of a man whose dog is killed - and overall the challenge was worth it as I am still thinking about the stories.

An excellent history of the late Viking Age. The author focuses on telling it through the career of Olaf (later St Olaf) as well as Cnut the Great. He has fine touch and tells the stories with the right amount of detail.

My first Jon Fosse. I‘ve wanted to read him since before he won The Nobel Prize in Literature, but that certainly pushed me to read him sooner.

This is a short book, my edition is 70 pages told In vignettes about a man‘s childhood and teens. About hanging out with friends but also the introduction of death.

A good poem
must smell of tea.
Or raw earth
and freshly-cut wood.

(free English translation of the French translation of the Norwegian original 😁)
