Lars Saabye Christensen Book order
September 21, 1953
Lars Saabye Christensen is a gifted storyteller, blending imagination with down-to-earth realism. His narrative style alternates between poetic imagery and ingenious incidents, conveyed in supple metropolitan language and slang that feels authentic. His characters possess a significant degree of self-irony, and while his portrayals are lively, a subtle melancholy always lurks beneath the surface.
