See You Tomorrow

Over three fateful September days, the lives of eight unforgettable characters cross in a whirlwind of brutality, laughter, tragedy and love that will change them forever. Tore Renberg has written a fast-paced, moving and darkly funny page-turner about people who are trying to fill the holes in their lives, a messy love story with strong ties to the modern TV drama. Combining Nordic social realism and Western popular culture, horror and hope, metal music and literary marvels, See You Tomorrow is a startlingly original, eerie and hilarious novel about friendship, crime, loneliness and tragic death. See You Tomorrow is the first freestanding volume in a planned series of five novels. The second volume, From All Sides, will be published in Norway in 2014 and in the UK (by Arcadia) in 2015.

See You Tomorrow

Tore Renberg is a multi-award-winning author, who has distinguished himself as a literary critic and TV host for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. A student of philosophy and literature at the University of Bergen, where he met lifelong friend Karl Ove Knausgård, he first achieved major success at the age of 23, with the now legendary short-story collection Sleeping Triangle and then the novel The Man Who Loved Yngve, which was made into a major motion picture. This was followed by four further novels with the same protagonist, selling over 400,000 copies in Norway. In addition to his work as an essayist and novelist, Tore has played in several bands, and written for the screen and the theatre. His work has been translated into 11 languages.
