80° aust for Birdland

by Frode Grytten

Novellesamlingen handler om pubertet, musikk og vestnorsk utkant. Alle de universelle spørsmålene ligger gjemt i det lokale. Birdland er kanskje den mest kjente jazzklubben i verden. I denne boka er den også et bilde på drømmen om stedet der du egentlig skulle vært, men aldri kommer til.
