This new volume in the Leopard series of anthologies comprises a collection of the best Norwegian short fiction of the last forty years. The focus of the stories is the real and raw concerns of contemporary life.
This is a collection of the most exciting and the most interesting short fiction being produced now and over the past four decades by Norwegian writers. The editors - a celebrated critic and academic, a distinguished publisher, and a renowned author - have made their selection to mark the centenary of Norway's secession from Sweden, a milestone that will be the occasion for extensive festivities and almost year-long cultural and diplomatic activity throughout 2005. The focus of the authors is, predictably and as the title of the anthology implies, in the real and raw concerns of contemporary life. The range of these stories, not a few by writers familiar to readers in English, is testament to the vigour and depth of Norway's literary genius.
