“A perfect book! Tore Renberg’s See You Tomorrow is so good! Read it! ”
Sofi Oksanen

”I can nothing but admire Tore Renberg’s courage. The first Finnish translation Huomenna nähdään from the famous Norwegian author is painted with a steady hand on a large canvas. It’s the kind of huge painting that reaches to many directions and isn’t hold back by the frames.”
Helsingin Sanomat, Finland

”Everybody’s been raving about Norwegian Karl Ove Knausgård for years. From this spring on, also Finland will be enthusiastic about his Stavangerian friend.”
Turun Sanomat, Finland

“Renberg’s novels are of international excellence … See You Tomorrow is a wild, compassionate first rate thriller … At the same time, the second volume, Attack from All Sides, is published in Norwegian, and it is just as good … The grandeur of Renberg’s project is the concentration, the condensation, the absolute absence of coincidence … The penmanship, the personification and the abundantly idiomatic dialogue makes See You Tomorrow and Attack from All Sides into brilliantly realistic prose, not just within Scandinavia, but in the international elite”
Sydsvenskan, Sweden (Review of See You Tomorrow and Attack from All Sides)

“Renberg is a skilled author who doesn’t leave it at gripping, almost farcical intrigue. He is also interested in his characters’ psychology in a way that makes the novel convincing … damn refreshing”
Svenska Dagbladet, Sweden

“I am basically impressed by Renberg’s thorough handicraft, not least by the tempo and rhythm in the prose, how the reader is constantly moved forward in this 570 page book”
Göteborgs-Posten, Sweden

“It is compelling, funny, drastic, but also insightful and moving”
Sveriges Radio, Sweden

“Renberg mixes tragedy and humour throughout 572 pages, and most of all: he surprises … to me, See You Tomorrow, was the first great reading experience of this autumn”
Norran, Sweden

“A Norwegian masterpiece … a novel that has everything … irresistibly suspenseful … comforting, merciful and hopeful. I find it masterly executed”
Värmlands Folkblad, Sweden

“A new literary star is born … What makes this novel sensational is the language .. the 600 page novel feels incredibly easily read and at times as seductive as a feature film”
Dala-Demokraten, Sweden

“Thrilling, funny and filled with inner monologues”
Södermanlands Nyheter, Sweden

“It is sad when it ends. And what an ending! A real cliffhanger that immediately makes me await part two”
Katrineholms-Kuriren, Sweden

“A thunderbolt of a novel whose pace never relents thanks to five-hundred pages of action being compressed into three dark and wondrous autumnal days. The chapters are short as the perspective rotates through the key protagonists – Pål a seriously conflicted single dad of two teen girls, his polesapart daughters and a supporting cast of their love-struck, desperate and comically unhinged associates. Laden with Nordic atmosphere, humour and popular music references, this is an exuberant literary thriller from our new favourite Scandinavian literary star”
Mr B’s Bookstore’s Christmas Catalogue 2014, UK

“Renberg gives us a novel, rooted in noir softened by comedy, that gets to the serious business of how our shortcomings are all linked. […] A dense literary novel that moves like a thriller among memorable characters on parallel trajectories.”
Kirkus Reviews

“Its mixture of the exceptional and the everyday is perfectly proportioned: aspects of the novel seem utterly ordinary, but taken in its behemoth whole, it dazzles”
The Quietus, UK

“The Norwegian author Tore Renberg is used to moving in the twilight. There he finds his gold and the cast of characters in his new, wonderful novel – and one devours it in huge, greedy gulps. (…) How is it possible to combine two such contradictory universes? The answer is Tore Renberg. The answer is an author with a literary expression, a human colorfulness, a life-giving love for speed and pace and a completely outrageous devotion to the characters described. (…) One surfs incomprehensibly easy and effortless from one situation to another. Not at least because the language is so unique and rude, with slang in the most surprising combinations. (…) It is a magnificent book”.
Kristeligt Dagblad, Denmark

“The Norwegian author Tore Renberg is back with a grotesque comedy about unhappy emo kids, lower middle-class crooks and vague longing. It is wild, but also wildly funny… It is fantastic! … Realistic? Probably not, but insanely fun, and insanely well-handled”.
Information, Denmark

“Renberg takes control on the Continent with See you tomorrow. A book that involves both bursts of laughter and compassion… a joyful display of literary expression. There is full speed in the dialogue… – and there is a unique artfulness in both the gallery of characters and the series of events”.
5/6 stars in Jyllands-Posten, Denmark

“Tore Renberg is one of this year’s most brightly shining stars … It is an incredibly good novel. 600 pages feel like 200, and not because Renberg takes the easy way out. See You Tomorrow is an achievement in technical power. In vital, maximalist prose, the characters’ perspectives change in a weaving movement, slowly taking us to an amazing crescendo. The tone feels new, fresh and heartfelt.”
Expressen, Sweden (based on the Norwegian edition)

“a ruthless and immense work of a true storyteller, a masterpiece full of pitch black psychology with the allures of the best, darkest and wittiest work of Nick Cave” Cristophe Vekeman / Klara.be Belgian national radio

“Dark, golden, rotten warm, wet, changeable, cold and bluish red storytelling … It is simply a show-off in the art of balancing; innovative yet saturated with ancient tricks of storytelling … I rest my case, the queen of pulp fiction gives it six stars, in pure, green envy, and says like many of the novel’s anglicized characters: Where the fuck did you get that idea, brother of tears?”

6/6 stars, VG

“a strikingly accurate portrayal of Stavanger’s wrong side … a collective novel where all participants are portrayed equally clearly, equally credibly and with equal care. And they are all equally interesting to the reader … See You Tomorrow is impressive in every aspect—from its composition, language and credibility to its wit, palette, crescendos. The research for this book must have taken a year of his life.”
6/6 stars, Adresseavisen

“A knockout story … In 600 pages, Renberg unrolls a story that drives the reader to surrender”
6/6 stars, Fædrelandsvennen

“Renberg makes broken noses and gross immorals vigourously funny and entertaining like no other”
6/6 stars, Trønder-Avisa

“a cornucopia of a story … hilarious and deeply tragic … A literary carousel”
6/6 stars, brabok.no

“Renberg is one of the most significant epic poets of Norwegian contemporary literature. His ability to read the pulse of a social set, the spirit of an age and an absolutely credible cast of characters is first grade.”
6/6 stars, Tønsberg Blad

“Wow, what a novel! … Renberg’s pitch black novel from Stavanger is filled with momentum, brutality, humour, poetry and musicality … Renberg posesses a formidable talent for storytelling … The book has a poetry and rhythm that show the best of the multi talent that is Tore Renberg. A novel of remarkable tempo and drive, and a horror-like ending, grotesque to the point where it becomes comic.”
Dagbladet

“a new climax in Tore Renberg’s authorship … a humorous thriller including psychological portraits, moving scenes and a solid soundtrack. There is high energy and momentum throughout, and that says something in a 600 page novel. Let us hope for a sequel or two”
Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation

“Six hundred pages of pure energy … a charming cock-and-bull story filled with love for twisted criminals, hormonal teenagers and the oil city Stavanger … It is lightyears away from ‘dwelling’, ‘quiet’, ‘seeking’ and other words critics resort to when describing a lot of the books that are published … this is a novel with momentum. It’s entertaining, alternately funny and thrilling”
Dagsavisen

“an action-packed cross between youth novel and thriller … an arresting novel where Renberg shows off his best side … stays suspenseful from the first till the last page”
Bergens Tidende

“rare linguistic energy, powerful progress and a delightful combination of humour and rawness … a highlight in Renberg’s authorship, and in this autumn’s books … a juicy linguistic orgy fit to be consumed in large quantities”
Hamar Arbeiderblad

“A criminal power performance. See You Tomorrow is 600 pages of maximalism, not to mention a vitalistic tour de force, which at its best is crushing proof of truth of how productively far you can reach beyond the grey standard prose. This flammable novel material unfolds over a few September days in Stavanger. Structurally, it is a latticework story divided between ten people whom coincidence bring together in a sort of hyper modern Symphony No. 5 … From the outside, one can easily view it as a story of dysfunctional losers so caught up in social issues they risk becoming invisible. Being a generous humanist, however, Renberg won’t have it. With a shudder he individualises and humanises these crooked destinies until they are carved in stone, like the darkly beating heart of the novel … Renberg has built a beacon of a book – one which flows over with tempting literary fruits”
Aftenposten

“See You Tomorrow is an exceptional novel, as incredible as it is realistic, written with an explosive force and a pulsating passion for Balzac. A majestic page turner!”
Karl Ove Knausgård, author of MIN KAMP

“See you Tomorrow makes most Norwegian contemporary literature taste like watery tea. Compared to this novel, Norwegian crime authors’ prose looks about as elegant and smooth as the Norwegian football team playing against Argentina … a genre-transgressing thriller, where the characters move the story forward. This makes it feel more like an HBO series than autobiographical literature or a crime novel. It actually reminded me of Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels. That’s about the greatest compliment I can pay anyone.  But I think Renberg has managed something even more important: He describes Norwegian contemporary misery – where welfare meets internet gambling and small scale crimes – in a relevant manner. Tore Renberg has given a language to those who have been literary mute. I take my hat off.”
Aslak Nore, A-magasinet (Aftenposten)
