“Wonderfully original, and sparkling in both its theme and its prose … empathetic and elegant”
5/6 stars, Adresseavisen

“Kristine Næss’ novels are about vulnerable, ignored, slightly disheveled beings. Still, her characters are not passive or indolent, but wild and unpredictable; rough and aggressive at one moment, self-effacing and vulnerable in the next … Næss’ prose is brilliant, capable of containing big thoughts and delicate enough to hold on to little details. She comes close to her main character, and through her lifeworld, we also see the world around her”
Klassekampen

“Kristine Næss writes well. Better than most. Ingeborg’s toughts flow over with sharp observations and details. She is satirical and fun, sharp and reflected in an uncensored, untamed way. She is like a mix of Thure Erik Lund and Vigdis Hjorth, full of madness, sound and fury”
Dagbladet

“The scenes that in one way or another end up in social confrontations are among the sharpest in the novel, and often mercilessly embarrassing … Some of the most embarrassing moments can remind you of the long takes in Ruben Östlund’s film “Involuntary – where the same dwelling reveal both quite innocent and more brutal examples of group mentality. Like when Ingeborg at one place in the novel meets Oslo’s most ironic beggar while she savours an expensive cup of Ethiopian coffee in the sun – a confrontation that becomes both a display of absurd logic […] and rethorical leaps worthy of Larry David … Næss has a rare ability to go deep into a mind and take this mentality seriously. While I Remember has among much else a brave approach to existential unease feeling of communalty and misunderstood pride”
