“Imagine if the ghost of Henry Miller re-wrote the first Adrian Mole Diary. One of the most memorable literary grotesques of the new century. This is blistering, naturalistic, Dogme fiction, oozing realism and stinking of grimy humanity”
The Irish Examiner

“Ramslie is one of the leading lights of a new wave of young Norwegian authors, writing gritty modern stories that show the ugly underbelly of modern Europe”
Sunday Business Post, Ireland

“Sucks you in with its opening page”
5/5 stars, RTE Guide, Ireland

“Will make you laugh even in places you know you shouldn’t. Ramslie is an extremely talented writer! It is unlikely that he will remain a secret in the English-speaking world for too much longer”
Totally Dublin

“… a tip-top storyteller with a striking style that is all his own…. Very few novels have infused me with such a sense of affinity and presence as Lars Ramslie’s Fatso. Also for that reason this is a rare gem of a book”
Aftenposten

“Coruscating, Ramslie (…) what is never in the slightest doubt is that this, Lars Ramslie’s fourth novel is a real tour de force”
Dagbladet
