Early one morning Arvid finds himself standing outside the bookshop where he used to work, drunk, dirty, with two fractured ribs, and no idea how he came to be there. He does not even recognise his face in the mirror. It is as if he has dropped out of the flow of life.Slowly, uncontrollably, the memories return to him, and Arvid struggles under the weight of the tragedy which has blighted his life - the death of his parents and younger siblings in an accident six years previously.At times almost unbearably moving, In the Wake is nonetheless suffused with unexpected blessings: humour, wisdom, human compassion, and a sense of the perpetual beauty of the natural world.By the winner of both the IMPAC Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

Petterson's debut novel, published in English for the first time.Twelve-year-old Arvid and his family are on holiday, staying with his grandparents on the coast of Denmark. Dimly aware of the tension building between his mother and grandmother, Arvid is on the cusp of becoming a teenager: feeling awkward in his own skin, but adamant that he can take care of himself.As Arvid cycles down to the beach with its view of the lighthouse, he meets Mogens, an older boy who lives nearby, and together they set out to find fresh experiences in this strange new world. Echoland is a breathtaking read, capturing the unique drift of childhood summers, filled with unarticulated anxiety.

More than a year has passed since the tragic accident that took his parents and two of his brothers.Existence has become a question of holding on to a few firm things.

Is there any redemption for a man in his situation?'Per Petterson writes about masculinity as well as anyone' Torrey Peters'A rare insight into male vulnerability' Evening Standard

Söndag, september 1992. Telefonen ringer i Arvid Jansens lägenhet i Bjølsen. Det är Turid, hon är helt utom sig och behöver hjälp, men vet inte var hon är. Arvid hittar henne på den nerlagda järnvägsstationen i Bjørkelangen och kör henne hem till radhuset i Skjetten där hon bott med deras tre döttrar det senaste året. Inne i huset kan inte Arvid hitta några som helst spår av livet de en gång hade tillsammans. Som om han vore utraderad.

Under året som gått sedan Turid lämnade honom har Arvid drivit från bar till bar i Oslo centrum, han har kört bil förbi platser från sin uppväxt, genom Østlandets skogar eller över svenska gränsen till Arvika i Värmland. Under den här söndagen i september kommer han kanske att finna svaret på varför saker blev som de blev. Men den största utmaningen kommer senare, när den äldsta dottern Vigdis är den som behöver honom.

Män i min situation är en lysande Oslo-skildring och ett lika ömsint som skoningslöst porträtt av en man som hamnat vid sidan av livet.

"Per Petterson har virat en mjuk och varm filt runt alla ensamma, förlorade, manliga själar i huvudstaden." Dagsavisen

"Per Petterson skriver så intensivt, precist och språkligt finslipat att historien griper tag i dig på en gång. Och den släpper dig inte, inte ens efter att du läst ut den. Jag är glad att vi har Per Petterson. Väldigt glad." VG

Per Petterson är en av Norges största internationella stjärnor. Hans böcker är översatta till över 50 språk och har vunnit flera internationella priser, bl.a. Nordiska Rådets Litteraturpris, IMPAC-priset och Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.
