Working-class Tommy has stopped reading fiction but still treasures Jim's long-ago gift, Steinbeck's The Moon Is Down (whose unnamed village resists "occupiers," evoking Norway during World War II), ...as an emblem of Jim and freedom. ...Jim lives austerely, refusing to seek employment after his year's medical leave (for panic attacks and undiagnosed pains) from his position as head librarian.

Book Review
After the success of Out Stealing Horses (2007), a new Petterson novel is bound to be highly anticipated. And this story offers fans all of the author's signature moves, including a spare style, ...bleak setting, and intense focus on a boyhood friendship.

Book Review
Recenzirano
...Robert reveres his "blind" godfather, Markus, who actually sees a lot. Deftly, Jacobsen combines antiquity (Prince William of Orange, Dutch Sea Beggars) with recency (Adolf Hitler, Battle of the ...Bulge), exploring complex military details and intricate family connections with equal fervor.
Norwegian author PER PETTERSON and his translator Anne Born won the world's richest literary prize for a single work of fiction in English yesterday for the novel Out Stealing Horses. Petterson ...collected 100,000 euros ($142,234), of which Born will get 25,000 euros, for his novel focusing on a solitary widower whose encounter with a character from his youth triggers painful memories. "It is a very happy man that stands before you. A surprised man," Petterson said after Dublin's Lord Mayor named him as winner of the 12th International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. Reuters
