It arrives directly to the launch, Thursday 13 November at 19.00 at the Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. Stefan Hagel from Vienna will also come.

      The book can be ordered from the publisher Ford Forlag (www.ford.forlag.no) or from Internet bookstores (google “Jordas skjulte toner”). It can also be ordered directly from me, if you send an email or phone me (see contact information in the top menu).
