Women of the fjords. Norwegian writer´s stories, AD, Madrid, Nordic Books, 2009
An interesting anthology books of authors reading in line with the Swedish Frediksonn Marianne. Are about women who talk about people with problems of understanding, relationship with a world in which they are not understood, isolated, lonely, different. I have drawn especially two, the first and last. The young and most Trude Marstein Bjørg Vik. The first, a story in which a girl decides not to perform any sexual act with a girl he just met and invited him home. The second, a beautiful love story between an owner not materialized and the tenant of a room in his house.
Vik’s narrative as inserts include reported speech:
“The widow looked with apathetic cat face.
Really?
The chest was finally empty. Between the two took her out into the hallway.
[...]
Is that all?, Maggie.
You do what you like best?, Asked him in affectionate tone, a tone she had never heard before. Why?
I’m happy, Tremmel said spontaneously. I want to make someone happy. What do you like?
Maggi looked surprised. ”
(p. 155)
Direct, without loss of time. As I was interested in doing in the silence of Mary and Sarah, a woman with no attributes. Includes dialogue, but with few introductory verbs. There is a third-person narrator, perfect. There italics denoting disingenuous, as with a chill in the treatment of the feelings of the characters.
A tone that attracts me to post my projects. Stories with a Nordic or Celtic flavor, so different Mediterranean authors.
