Bjerke Tower Block - Thirteen Years on the Third Floor

A Selected NORLA title autumn 2023

Bjørn Hatterud has so to speak created his own genre, with his love for communities that are falling apart or at least changing, according one of the many rave reviews for his new narrative non-fiction.

In Bjerke Tower Block Bjørn Hatterud tells the story of the majority population from the unique perspective, of a disabled gay man, who begins his adult life scratching out an existence on disability benefits and goes on to become a board member of Arts Council Norway.

Bjerke Tower Block offers a fresh, queered perspective on the Norwegian national narrative.

Hatterud writes with precision, insight, and warmth: WORLD-CLASS says Simen Ingemundsen in Randaberg 24.

Bjørn Hatterud’s Me, Mom and Mjøsa was awarded The Library Literature Prize yesterday.
Congratulations!
