Lars Saabye Christensen (1953 -) is a gifted storyteller, a narrator who is imaginative, but equally down to earth.
His realism alternates between poetic image and ingenious incident, conveyed in supple metropolitan language and slang that never smacks of the artificial or forced.
Since his debut in 1976 Saabye Christensen has written ten collections of poetry, four collections of short stories and twelve novels.

 Amazon.de: Herman: English Books: Lars Saabye Christensen,Steven Nordby   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Christensen (The Joker) uses fresh imagery and lyrical prose, while the translator gives readers a solid feel for Norway's language and culture.
The cultural milieu of Oslo in the 1960s seems too distant; many of the characters are more like caricatures than real people; and Herman himself doesn't quite come alive.
Christensen's previous novel, The Joker (LJ 4/15/91), was more successful, but although this book seems to be written mainly to support victims of Herman's disease, there may still be demand because of the recent release in this country of a film version.

The Half Brother, by the Norwegian writer Lars Saabye Christensen, was an obvious, but potentially expensive, choice for Arcadia, its enterprising independent publisher.
His parents and bedridden grandfather are caring, "ordinary" people - and mildly eccentric, like everybody else in the provincial 1960s town that is Saabye Christensen's Oslo.
The loss of innocence and outsider-hood are recurrent themes in Saabye Christensen's work.

Christensen's achievement in this respect is remarkable in itself, but it is his masterful interweaving of manifold leitmotifs with Wagnerian skill and sophistication that make The Half Brother Nobel Prize caliber.
Without sacrificing plot or subtlety, Christensen brings the reader to a rich ocean of symbolism and allegory just beneath the surface of the main storyline.
Lars Saabye Christensen is at his best presenting the cosmos of childhood and family.

Barnum finds companionship and love through his relationships with friends Peder and Vivian, eventually marrying Vivian, but their connection unravels, particularly with Vivian's pregnancy—a pregnancy that torments Barnum, who is secretly infertile.
Barnum's conflicted, complicated love for his brother anchors the novel, but Christensen tenderly explores all sorts of human connection, examining the emotions aroused by absence and persistence, and the complex nature of family and forgiveness.

It is hard to describe what the book is really about, but I guess it tells a story of a group of people that might seem to live a pointless life in a pointless world.
But what Lars Saabye Christensen wants to tell us is that no matter how dark it gets, life is a wonderful gift and it is worth living.
Even if you have many dark moments in your life and few bright ones, in the end it is all worth it.

 The Half Brother: A Novel (Lars Saabye Christensen)
The Half Brother: A Novel (Lars Saabye Christensen)
Other reviewers have called this novel "compulsively readable" and so it is, in the same way that foods that are not necessarily good for us and not all that good tasting can sometimes become "compulsively edible." Readers who keep going until they have polished off the whole platter of lutfisk will be glad they did.
Despite the novel's large scope, Christensen ties it all up by the end and gives meaning to everything that has gone on before, except perhaps for a near-miss with the Fab Four that seems somewhat contrived in a very Hollywood way.
