Welcome to Inger Bråtveit

October 8 2018

Winje Agency is proud to welcome Inger Bråtveit to the agency. The Art of Swimming is a subtle, exquisitly crafted hybrid novel in which personal incidents, essayistic reflections, documentary materials and imaginations are mingled in new and often surprising ways. The acute narrative touches on our basic human condition, both existentially and ethically. The Art of Swimming (Dette er også vatn) will be launched 15th of October in Norway – can’t wait to see this strong novel out in the world.
