One-armed Frank is one of the survivors of the apocalypse. In the ruins of an old rural hut, he builds a home for himself out of rocks and tarpaulin. Down in the village, Frank meets other survivors to trade canned food and salt for rhye bread and butter. On the local football field, there are more and more white crosses made of sticks.

In his lonely settler existence, Frank’s only company is the dog Blondi. A cold, barren winter is approaching. Through the crackling radio, the voice of somebody in Oslo who calls himself the King keeps booming. Frank senses a conspiracy.

Norway in Spring is an uncivilized, visionary story with crooked characters and nowhere to hide.

“Øen has always enjoyed provoking, and this book is no exception. At times I was uncertain if he was serious – or ironic … the novel is suspenseful, manysided and packed with lots of facts from both ancient and modern times”
