Wait, blink
"Wait, Blink is a novel of teeming originality that will rewire your brain and gleefully eclipse whole libraries of less fiction." .Ryan Chapman, BOMB
Sigrid is a young literature student trying to find her voice as a writer when she falls in love with an older, established author, whose lifestyle soon overwhelms her values and once-clear vision. Trine has reluctantly become a mother and struggles to create as a performance artist. Les mer
Wait, Blink combines wild associations, quotations, coincidences, and other peculiar details into a unique tale that is both humorous and profound. Full of the playfulness that drew acclaim for her story collection Knots, Gunnhild Øyehaug's Wait, Blink-her first novel to be translated into English-is a jolt of desire and fantasy, romance and regret: a fable about what it means to own up to the weirdness inside us all.

"Wait, Blink is a novel of teeming originality that will rewire your brain and gleefully eclipse whole libraries of less fiction." .Ryan Chapman, BOMB
"Expansive, intimate, and filled to the brim with delight, Gunnhild Oyehaug's first novel is devoted to the unexpected connections between lonesome individuals, mundane rituals, jellyfish, death, oversized men's shirts, and a thousand other things too astonishing to spoil in this sentence. I truly loved this wide-eyed, all-embracing wonder of a book." .Alexandra Kleeman, author of You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine
