Acclaimed writer Watkins describes his spellbinding solo trek through the wilds of Norway’s Rondane and Jutunheimen mountains - grand but harsh landscapes where myth and reality meet. His adventure takes him through some of the most spectacular country imaginable - valleys bordered by thousand-foot cliffs, roaring waterfalls wreathed in rainbows, blinding glaciers, and shimmering blue snowfields. Yet this is also some of the harshest, most challenging terrain in the world. Watkins’s route follows razor-thin ridges, hair-raising paths, and vertigo-inducing drops. This engaging and reflective memoir captures the profound connection between the Norwegian landscape and the myths, people, and dreams that it inspires.

This hilarious book has vigorous dashes of humor with time-outs for insightful observations of Finnishness. This book of quips and queries about all matters Finnish is more of a continuation rather than a sequel to Hillila’s earlier FinnFun, and it is indeed more. Some quotes“...we say Finns are extremists, but we also claim Finns have a lot of common sense.” “ To give our children wings, we first let them see their roots.” Each section is punctuated by a previously published poem or poems. This book makes a cherished addition to personal collections as well as a thoughtful gift.

A woman wakes up in the middle of the night. A strange man is in her bedroom. She lies there in silence, paralyzed with fear. But in this "claustrophobic and intense" (Independent, London) tale by the Gumshoe Award– and Los Angeles Times Book Prize–winning creator of the Inspector Konrad Sejer crime series, the woman is an author and the man is one of her characters, desperate for her to tell his story. He, the author decides, is Alvar Eide, 42 years old, single, working in a gallery. He lives a quiet, orderly life and likes it that way, until the icy winter morning when a fragile young drug addict walks into the gallery. Alvar gives her a cup of coffee to warm her up. And then one day she appears on his doorstep.

Best known for his evocative sculptural installations which combine found objects with superbly crafted wood forms, Frame has created figurative sculpture over the past 25 years which is at once poetic, dramatic and richly multi-layered. The show explores the development of the artist’s work with a particular emphasis on the work he has produced since 1992, the year of his major one-person exhibiton at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
