It's Fine by Me (Paperback)

Author of "Out Stealing Horses
"A "New York Times Book Review" Notable Book of the Year
Fans of Per Petterson's other books in English will be delighted by this opportunity to observe Arvid Jansen in his youth from a fresh perspective. In "It's Fine by Me," Arvid befriends a boy named Audun. On Audun's first day of school he refuses to talk or take off his sunglasses; there are stories he would prefer to keep to himself. Audun lives with his mother in a working-class district of Oslo, Norway. He delivers newspapers and talks for hours about Jack London and Ernest Hemingway with Arvid. But he's not sure that school is the right path for him and feels that life holds other possibilities. Sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, "It's Fine by Me" is a brilliant Scandinavian novel from the acclaimed author of "Out Stealing Horses" and "I Curse the River of Time."
