«This year one of our most interesting authors came out with a quirky and nimble-footed collection of nine essays dealing with art, literature and film, as well as other things that inspire the Bergen-based author. Kate Bush’s sensual music videos, Edvard Munch’s paintings and the sculptor Giacometti’s statues are just a few of those she puts under her merry magnifying glass. Perfect reading for the woman of culture.»

Heart Undercover contains nine essays on art, literature, film, inspiration and writing. Through occasionally personal, poetological research and readings of authors and artists such as Edvard Munch, Nikolai Astrup, Mary Ruefle, Claire-Louise Bennett and Andrei Tarkovsky, the texts revolve around literary transformation points, abstraction and realism, creation and re-creation. If Heart Undercover is an associative, momentary memoir about, for example, standing up to your knees in ice-cold dirt, it is also about work in the first-person singular, about dramaturgy, and about comedy.
In her third collection of essays, Gunnhild Øyehaug delivers a rich, thought-provoking and poetic reflection on literature’s capacity for both fantastic transformation and for holding on tight to something imagined, lived and experienced.

Mari Grydeland, Costume – Favourite books of 2022
«Gunnhild Øyehaug manages like few others to home in on how art can poke away at existence. A common thread in the essay collection Undercover Heart is the insights that art can give – often a little inadvertently. The text about Nikolai Astrup’s paintings is undoubtedly one of my finest moments of reading in the past year. [...] Øyehaug has written a funny, heartfelt and extremely lucid book. All at once.»
Sara Jacobsen Høgestøl, Vårt Land
«Øyehaug writes sparklingly funny and fabulously composed essays, as usual.»
Joanna Rzadkowska, Morgenbladet – Critics’ favourites 2022
«Few writers deserve the cliché “distinctive” more than Øyehaug. Undercover Heart is a wild and razor-sharp collection of texts about art.»
Elise Winterthun, Klassekampen – The best books of 2022
«Gunnhild Øyehaug should be more famous than Knausgård.»
Ola Innset, Vinduet
«Øyehaug writes keenly on art, existence, creation and inspiration. Big topics, but these essays are deliciously down-to-earth, funny, elucidating – and at times moving. What about hunting the hallways of the Louisiana Museum, only to be captivated along the way by something else entirely than why you were there in the first place? Even though you thought you were long since done with Giacometti?»
