This just might be of interest for those who read Scandinavian languages, but what the hell…
I just finished Stig Sæterbakken‘s novel Osynliga händer [Invisible Hands] (Vertigo Förlag) and I liked it a lot. I aslo read a good article by Oskorei just this very minute, and I hear Stig’s latest novel is supposed to be something very special. Can’t wait for that one.
As for Osynliga händer, I don’t even like crime stories that much, but this is so much more than a crime story. The words in here are words that matter and the eerie atmosphere will stay with me for a long time. This is more about subtle tension and anxiety than regular crime novel suspense.
Check out Sauermugg+ as well, where I contribute with some text alongside Nikanor Teratologen, CJ Håkansson, Stefan Whilde, Anastasia Wahl and Gunnar Blå.

EDIT: Found this English translation of Chapter One in Sæterbakken’s novel Siamese, along with an essay entitled Stig Sæterbakken – Between Good and Evil. The review of Siamese can be read here.

Hur vet men vem som skrivit vad på Sauermugg+?
Har du läst Sauermugg med?
>Det är nog grejen med S+, det vet man inte. ;)
Jo, jag har läst Sauermugg. Helt annan stil än Osynliga händer, men väl värd att läsa. Osynliga händer tycker jag är hans mest lättillgängliga verk. En bra start!
