Stig Sæterbakken was a Norwegian author. He published his first book at the age of 18, a collection of poems called Floating Umbrellas, while still attending Lillehammer Senior High School. In 1991, Sæterbakken released his first novel, Incubus, followed by The New Testament in 1993. Aestethic Bliss (1994) collected five years of work as an essayist.

Quotes by Stig Sæterbakken (?)

“... uten en ekstrem velvilje overfor livet i sin alminnelighet, en gjennomstrømmende sympati for alt omkring en, ingen litteratur overhodet. Eller med Handkes ord altså: hengivenhet. Hengivenhet til en verden man ikke nødvendigvis ønsker eller klarer å ha så altfor mye med å gjøre. Hengivenhet også til verden som et bedritent sted å være. Hengivenhet, åkkesom, til verden og de mennesker som bebor dem. Hengivenhet hinsides godt og ondt.”
― Stig Sæterbakken, Der jeg tenker er det alltid mørkt

“Det var noe uendelig trist over henne, selv om ansiktet hadde det alminnelige blide uttrykket. Akkurat som hun var lei seg uten å være klar over det.”

“Å, herregud!
Hvor jeg skulle ønske styrkeforholdet hukommelse/glemsel var motsatt fordelt!
Det må skyldes en grunnleggende skjevhet i mitt system at denne helt urimelige ubalansen får bestå. Der mine lykketreff av glede ryker ut med badevannet, oppbevares fadesene i et brannsikkert hvelv. Mine fineste stunder gnagd vellystig i stykker av tidens tann, mens munnfullene av nederlag forblir hele og ufordøyde, slik at jeg blir nødt til å svelge dem i meg gang etter gang.”
― Stig Sæterbakken, Det fryktinngydende
