“True political art (…) Chernobyl Stories is a strong and hard book.”
(Aftenposten)

”Stories that shine (…) Chernobyl Stories is a classic piece of literature – it pursues its project with stylistic awareness and aesthetic force, making the book as hard to put down as it is to read. (…) The little stories serve one of the most fundamental roles in culture: They make distant things present and alive. Thus, the book is in its way a testimony to the power of telling – also where telling is at a loss. The next time someone complains about the lack of political literature in this country, I suggest rolling up a copy of Chernobyl Stories, hard, and hit them in the head with it.”
