Bjørn Arild Ersland
Bjørn Arild Ersland (b. 1969) shattered the Norwegian fiction sound barrier with his critically acclaimed Big Events on a Small Scale (Pelikanen 2016) and followed up on this a year later with the lovely, short and somewhat bizarre novel Fairhair (Pelikanen 2017). Ersland has also written a number of children’s books and non-fiction for both children and adults. He is a four-time Brage Prize nominee.
