Erlend Loe reads "The cocks/cocks"

October 23 : 18.3022.00

This will be a real reading marathon that will last for 2-3 hours, of course with well-deserved breaks along the way, where the audience can stretch their legs and buy something at the bar.

Erlend Loe is known as a distinctive performer - with humor, warmth and perfect timing. If you've heard any of his books as an audiobook, you know what we're talking about.

About the "Cooks":
One day Tander's penis falls off while he's in the shower. It is not ideal and fits badly, to put it mildly." This is how Cocken / Cocken begins - a tale of loss, attachment and freedom, about body, shame and what it really means to be whole.

The story is absurd, funny and thought-provoking. In familiar Loe style, she balances lightness and depth, with an eye for the human that is both tender and burlesque.

The book received a number of brilliant messages when she came out last fall, and she was also nominated for the Bookshops Prize.

From the messages:

When was the last time I laughed out loud at a novel? "Loe is funny, very funny." Dagbladet "The author's dry witty style is perfect for absurd stories like this." Stavanger Aftenblad "It's just Loe who can do something so wild and original, here is enough fabric to cure a slight hearing depression." Adresseavisen "Loe is, as always, a funny writer. He writes with a lightness that is admirable.

The event is a collaboration between Bakeriet Frugård and Stord Mållag.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Start at 7:00 p.m.
