Where the Light Enters, novel (Aschehoug forlag)
Venice, 1524: The nobleman and anti-Semite Don Gabriel Moro is sentenced to death for sodomy and decapitated. Two years later, Don Gabriel's man servant, the dwarf Tadzio, spends his last days writing his master's story. Why did he betray his beloved master? And who is the silent stranger waiting for him to die?
Loosely based on the real story of Don Gabriel Moro, Where the Light Enters is a novel about the relationship between a powerful nobleman and his servant, about lust, jealousy and ill-fated love. The book also deals with the circumstances that led to the creation of the world's first Jewish ghetto in 1516 and the burgeoning scientific experimenting during the same period that would eventually change the Western world view.

Autobahn, novel
It is the summer of 1989 and a car is motoring down the autobahns from Norway to Austria. Inside the car are an eight-year-old boy and his family. Through the car window the boy catches sight of a trailer full of pigs on their way to the slaughterhouse, and he is shocked by the sight.
The memories from the autobahn continue to haunt the protagonist through adulthood. Although he hopes that he can come to terms with the past and the world he is doomed to live in, as a protest – and in despair that everything could have been different – he goes on a mental journey to save what he can before it is too late.
Autobahn is an exciting, unusually intense novel with a very individual narrator's voice.
