This novel received great attention when released in Norway in 2002, much because of one of the novels subordinate characters being Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, and that the main character, Hobo Highbrow, is an admirer of the pop group a-ha. It also got rave reviews when it was published in Germany in 2007.
"The Scoundrel Days of Hobo Highbrow"
The long awaited English translation of "Drømmer om storhet" can be ordered on www.forlaget-fabula.no!
A-ha fans from almost 30 countries all over the world have read this book now in Norwegian, German or English language!
The adventures of the naughty cod Fjodor and his friend, the little boy Palle, are told in my children's books. So far the following have been published:
Here's Fjodor's most recent attempt to become a Hollywood star:
Who I'd like to meet: Publishers in other countries who are interested in publishing translations of my books in their language.
Several test translations are already waiting here!
Have a look at the Italian and French fan translations of my novel "Drømmer om storhet" on my fanblog.
Thank you for the information about Hobo's guide! Concerning Fjodor: Good idea with the small clip. It is so funny to see him now as an animated animal.
Thanx a lot. Penguins really appreciate. We hope you will get our new album too. There are links to cdbaby, iTunes, Amazon, Not Lame and Kool Kat on our myspace profile right under the blog/ bio section. Click on one of them, and it'll bring you some fresh "Norwegian Merseybeat".
Hobo's guide to Oslo is really great especially because of the collected information about the Norwegian writers and other artists. These things I always wanted to look up in a lexicon or in the internet, but then I forgot, had no time and so on.
Hobo Highbrow was already a character of your first novel? Interesting! Did he started thinking about a-ha's and Pål Waaktaar's music already during this time? I assume he did..., but maybe he didn't talk about!?
I also couldn't queue up at Oslo S to get a signed FOTM album. I had to buy it somewhere else, but sometimes it is possible to get it signed afterwards if you are lucky to get a little bit closer than 99 metres.
Guten Rutsch and a Happy New Year! Greetings from Hamburg, Katrine & Grasshopper
