Author and academic. 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. Dagbladet’s reviewer called the book ”a literary masterpiece that I recommend in the strongest terms!”, giving the book five stars. The book went on to win the Literary Critics’ Award and has been nominated to the Nordic Council’s Literature Prize – as the first Norwegian non-fiction book in 50 years. The English translation, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, will be available in August, 2021.
