«Solstad’s language sparkles with its new old-fashioned elegance, and radiates a unique luster, inimitable and full of elan.»
«Norway’s bravest, most intelligent novelist.»
«Dag Solstad, the strangest and most stupendous writer of Norway, has, over the last few decades, built up a small, discerning readership in English. And it’s looking for new members. This could be you... [H]is novels are mind-bogglingly brilliant.»
«Novel 11, Book 18 is not the mercilessly bleak book its protagonist wants, but it is a bitter pill to swallow. Fortunately, the bitterness is helped down with a dose of Dag Solstad’s droll, self-mocking humor.»
«The great Norwegian novelist Dag Solstad…tells the story in deceptively simple sentences that repeat themselves in a fugal fashion, gathering new and ever sadder aspects of meaning as they recur. Hansen, wading through the disappointing wash of his life—he’s having the worst midlife crisis imaginable—eventually cooks up a scheme of revenge that’s so sad and absurd it’s almost slapstick. The book’s generic title implies that tiny tragedies like Hansen’s are happening everywhere, all the time, as a simple cost of being alive.»
«A bourgeois man scavenges for meaning in the sly and emotionally rich latest from Solstad.»
«With sublime restraint and subtle modulation, Solstad conveys an entire age of sorrow and loss.»
