A pub in a suburb of Oslo: here, a group of outsiders spends their days, until a lottery win throws everything into turmoil. In her new novel «Det gode mennesket i Sandvika», Vigdis Hjorth, known for her intense live performances, takes readers to a place literature rarely explores. With the unflinchingly honest perspective characteristic of her work, she writes about class and fate. Hjorth’s plain yet no less metaphorical prose sketches a complex portrait of human depths.
