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

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.

Edvard Munch’s Freia Frieze was installed in the women’s canteen at the Freia Chocolate Factory in 1923. More than a century later, these twelve paintings are now leaving the factory to be shown at MUNCH in the exhibition Edvard Munch and the Chocolate Factory. This book sheds light on the frieze from new perspectives: Curator Ana María Bresciani puts the works into a social and art-historical context, while author Marta Breen gives voice to the factory’s many female workers. Author Per Petterson writes about his mother, who worked at Freia, and about his own encounter with Munch’s art. Chipo Dendere, an expert on African studies, looks at the historically charged cacao industry, while painting conservators Lina Wulff Flogstad and Mie Mustad provide a rare insight into the conservation work behind the exhibition. The book shows how the Freia Frieze speaks not just about its own time but about ours – about art, work and community.

Arvid Jansen té pare i mare, tres germans i tres filles de la dona amb qui viu des dels dinou anys. Amb una urpada de la vida, desapareixen tots: els uns a bord d''un ferri, les altres en un naufragi que es diu separació.Queda ell, exposat com una tija al vent. Arrelat i determinat a ser part d''allò que va i ve pels carrers d''Oslo, als bars i als tramvies, de dia i de nit. La gent viva que no coneixem, amb qui un cop de volant ens fa entrar en col·lisió. La gent morta que va poblant el paisatge. La gent, poca, de qui ens fem càrrec, i que ens llasta.D''aquestes col·lisions de persones d''on surten el malentès i la màgia, Per Petterson n''ha fet la matèria d''una obra. Arvid Jansen protagonitza tres novel·les. Els altres personatges entren i surten per les portes dels seus onze llibres, llegits en una cinquantena de llengües —una catedral literària, feta amb l''escuma dels dies.

Tots dos van criar-se al mateix poble: en Jim, educat i covat per una mare piadosa; en Tommy, abandonat per la seva i sotmès a un pare violent, obligat a treballar de molt jove en una serreria. I tanmateix és en Tommy qui ha fet carrera en les finances, mentre que en Jim fa la viu-viu i se li ha acabat l''atur. Trenta anys després es retroben en un pont on en Jim ha anat a pescar. Aquesta trobada atzarosa allibera el record i engega el motor de la narració. Anem dels seixanta als dos mil i són tres els personatges que prenen la paraula: dos amics de l''ànima i la germana petita d''un d''ells. Els uneix un poble on tot just hi arriba el telèfon —i l''orfenesa, que suporten miraculosament de nens, però que els fereix en l''adultesa.Les vides d''en Jim, en Tommy i la Siri agafen camins diferents a partir d''aquest moment, sense que puguin explicar-se què els va separar. El temps se''n va i de cop ja no ets jove: pel mig hi ha amics amb qui voldries reconciliar-te i persones a qui mai no podràs perdonar.M''hi nego és la cinquena novel·la de Petterson que publica Club Editor.
