The author Ulv Ulv Tommy Skoglund is the principal person in this metafictional antinovel-cycle, which begins with the following words: “When I now, without blinking, describe a pile of diaries I neither want to recognize myself in nor be recognized by, it is because I wrote off my ability to write in them." With great infamy, the author experiments with the novel as form, language and content, fiction and reality.
Even though the book is only 100 pages long, it is a demanding lesson that I don't know if I understand or can grasp. But the entire composition is original and testifies to an author with artistic gifts.
Ulv Ulv Tommy Skoglund
Ulv Ulv Tommy Skoglund (b. 1982) debuted in 2009 with the prose poem-collection Waking up as Part of Nature: “Impressive. Skoglund stands out strongly with a collection of prose poems that starts where life ends. With each new reading, the admiration for the author's distinctive talent increases, where the crystal clear and the irrational meet in concrete descriptions and paradoxical formulations” (VG, 5/6). In 2014 he debuted as a novelist with Silent Rebellion, the story of a self-chosen mute antihero, for which he was awarded The Municipality Prize and a two-year-stipend from Arts Council Norway. In 2018 the novel was translated into Danish. In June 2022, the second book of the metafictional antinovel-cycle, The Dilogy, was published.
