“Again the author has written a novel unlike other novels … Lirhus has … shown will and ability to travel beyond the literary and narratively beaten path.”
Aftenposten
“… his gloomy vision of Norway and the world a couple of decades from now is thrilling.”
Dagsavisen
“The writing is tight and dynamic, with sentences that know just where they’re going … Many of the scenes sparkle.”
Dagbladet
“philosophical and searching … This is Lirhus’ greatest strength: catching the social games, the delicate balance and the silent falls, the nuances and the details that if they are to be given literary form must be described with great ingenuity and few words.”
Klassekampen
”A complex and thought-provoking novel with one foot in the past and real life, another in the future and the illusion, or vice versa (…) an original writer”
