In this new book Thomas Winje Øijord tells an amusing and intelligent story about his search for the artistry and craftsmanship of the Norwegian knife, tollekniven – a book written with respect for the unique skills, combined with a surprising and well written tale about one of our most important tools. Beautifully illustrated.
Stine Pilgaard is one of the most original, humourous and sharp voices in Scandinavian literature. It is a huge pleasure to welcome Stine and her new novel Metres per Second to Winje Agency, as one of the first publications by the new Danish publishing house, Gutkind.

The publisher, Annette Beger says:
“Ida Lødemel Tvedts Essays in Marianegropen are sensual, direct, courageous, witty, pictorial, energetic and highly sensitive. One gets the feeling of a story, like in a novel, even though the essays can also stand for themselves. Ida Lødemel Tvedt immediately captivated me with her unique perception and her ability to describe the “in-between” in a way in which I believe anyone can experience while reading this book.“ Congratulations dear Ida (Facebook) and Kommode Verlag!
