AsinA Sudden Liberating Thought
Original titleEn plutselig frigjørende tanke
The first English translation of Askildsen's best writing from a 40-year period. Askildsen (b. 1929) first came to prominence in Norwegian literature in the 1950s with his Kafkaesque accounts of alienated individuals in a hostile environment. His reputation has grown since and he is now recognized as a major author. A recent translation of Askildsen's writing into French invited comparison with Beckett.
