As millions of people around the world (the last number was 6,9m) watch Harry Hole on Netflix, and social media are awash with stories, photographs, interviews and opinions, I read a great review by Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen of a new academic book on Jo Nesbø’s writing which is reblogged below.
The author of monograph Jarosław Giza, who is also a heavy metal fan, focuses on three novels The Redbreast, Nemesis and The Devil’s Star, the Oslo Trilogy, and explores the Gothic tradition that has inspired and shaped the global success of Nordic Noir and made Nesbø its superstar. More details are in the review, and I would absolutely recommend that you have a look at it.
