“Aubert’s texts hit the reader hard both on and between the lines. Through her exceptionally sharp observation of complex human relationships, she brutally exposes the pettiness and shame in both her characters and readers… This is literature that can have lasting effects, literature that leaves its mark. This year’s winner of the Bjørg Vik Prize makes you delight, makes you cringe, makes you squirm in your chair; she makes you think: Is this how we are, is this who we truly are?”
