We are sad about the passing of author Klaus Hagerup, age 72. Hagerup was one of Norway’s most beloved authors. His books for children and young adults are highly acclaimed and award winners. Here’s a moment from July where Hagerup is signing his last published book, «The Girl Who Wanted to Save the Books», illustrated by Lisa Aisato. Klaus Hagerup will be greatly missed by us all.

Here's Hanne Ørstavik and her translator Martin Aitken entering the National Book Awards ceremony yesterday evening in New York. Hanne Ørstavik’s novel LOVE was one of the five finalists for the translated fiction prize, but lost out in the end in what was surely a very close race.
