Jeg

by Johan Borgen

Roman

Matias Roos bryter opp fra huset i skogen, dreper kanskje et barn, men blir frikjent og flykter videre. Ved grensen stopper han og tar inn på et merkelig vertshus hvor alt virker gjenkjennelig og ingenting forandrer seg. Fortrengte episoder trenger seg på og gjør spørsmålet om skyld uunngåelig.

About the author

Norwegian author, journalist and critic. He was married to Annemarta Borgen. Under the pseudonym of Mumle Gåsegg (Mumble Goose-egg) he wrote shorter articles in the newspaper Dagbladet, particularly during World War II. His articles were ironic and derogatory of the Nazi government, and he kept this up for a long time before being found out. In the end though, he was caught and sent to the prison camp Grini. His best known work is the novel Lillelord (1955). Borgen was editor of the literary magazine Vinduet ("The Window") 1954-1959.

I had to give up on this. I left my bookmark in place if I ever return, but it just did not sustain my interest. Disappointing.
