Oslo sometime at the end of the last millennium: Ove moves to the city to start art school, and falls into a world of counterculture, politics, partying, sex and friendship. Not least, he falls for Målfrid.
OsloLovers is Flu Hartberg's ode to Oslo, underground culture, the power of love and human creativity.
“This year’s hit ... exceptionally well-executed saga of the transformations of adolescence, from the countryside in the remote eastern Norway down to Oslo’s blasé pseudo-radical cohorts. ... a novel that is both funny, wistful and cultural critique.” 6/6
"Brilliant, from an Oslo you just have to love. One of the best novels from the past year has panels and speech bubbles."
5/6
“also offers an absolutely beautiful, and terribly funny, journey through art history ... worth the entire book alone ... about ... class differences: how much background and upbringing decide how we approach life, how easy it is to feel entitled when you have never really had to work for anything.”
