Forholdene tatt i betraktning

by Bjørg Vik

Bjørg Vik er tilbake med en novellesamling som på mange måter følger opp trådene fra romanen "Roser i et sprukket glass". Også her møter vi godt voksne kvinner som leter etter litt lykke - gjerne i form av en ny mann. Noen menn er nesten for gode til å være sanne, og forfatteren kaster gjerne et muntert avslørende lys over de nye pardannelsene. Her er litt vemod, og enda mer galgenhumor. Bjørg Vik har fortsatt en helt egen evne til fintfølende å registrere hva som skjer i forholdet mellom mennesker. Considerations Taken Into Account: Bjørg Vik is back with a novel collection that in many ways picks up the threads from her novel "Roses in a cracked glass." Here too, we meet mature women who are looking for some happiness – like a new man. Some men are almost too good to be true, and the writer often throws a cheerful revealing light on the new pairings, with a little bit of bile and some wry humor. Bjørg Vik still has a very personal ability to record what happens in relationships between people.
