Bjarte Breiteig (b.1974) made his debut with the short story collection Phantom Pains (1998) which received glowing reviews and immediately established Breiteig as one of our strongest literary voices, a position that has been strenghtened with each of his later works.

His work was featured in Dalkey Archive’s Best European Fiction 2012. So far, Breiteig’s books have been translated to German, French and Czech.
