In book two of a planned total of six volumes, Ketil Bjørnstad follows up the tremendous success of The Sixties writing his own life story juxtaposed to the histories and history of the various decades of his life.
The Seventies is a novel about learning and letting go, about friendships and falling in love, about belonging and deceit.
Searching for the new and radical, young Ketil forms an close friendship with the artist Ole Paus, five years his senior, who encourages the classically trained pianist to open up towards literature, jazz and rock. Political tensions harden through the EEC-referendum, and Norway is no longer unharmed by terror.
