i really liked the movie... and i decided to look up this writer sten egil dahl, maybe read sg from him... i found he is based on norwegian writer Tor Ulven... but i didnt find any of his works translated to english... is it possible?!.. i mean he is kind of famous (contemporary but famous) and there nothing from him in english or in any other language?!
Unfortunately, the English-language market for poetry and short stories (which is mostly what Tor Ulven wrote, I believe) is very small, let alone poetry translated from Norwegian into English. I expect translators and publishing houses think the market isn't large enough to justify the time, effort and expense.
But maybe you can pester an academic publisher into releasing a translation :0)
He looks like a superstar from the old days :)

Jeg elsker den sangen som spiller i bakgrunnen til denne :) Dette er kanskje en av mine yndlingsscener i filmen!
