In contemporary Norwegian fiction Tomas Espedal's work stands out
as uniquely personal; it can be difficult to separate the fiction
from Espedal's own experiences. In that vein, his novel Against Art
is not just the story of a boy growing up to be a writer, but it is
also the story of writing. Specifically, it is about the profession
of writing--the routines, responsibility, and obstacles. Yet,
Against Art is also about being a father, a son, and a grandson;
about a family and a family's tales, and about how preceding
generations mark their successors. It is at once about choices and
changes, about motion and rest, about moving to a new place, and
about living. Praise for the Norwegian Edition"One of the most
beautiful, most important books I've read for years."--Klassekampen
"Espedal has written an amazingly rich novel, which will assuredly
stand out as one of the year's best and will also further fortify
the quality of Norwegian literature abroad."-- Adresseavisen
"Against Art attacks literature while at the same time being
intensely literary. Our greatest sorrows and torments, the
individual experiences often so anemic in art, find a voice of
their own."--Morgenbladet "Against Art moves me with its maternal
history and proves yet again that Tomas Espedal writes great
novels."--Dag og Tid
