JO NESBO at Leif Erikson Hall

03/22/2010 7:00 pm
We are thrilled to be hosting this much-anticipated visit by award-winning, internationally-renowned author, musician, songwriter, and economist Jo Nesbø. He is traveling the U.S. from his Oslo home for the newest of his noir novels featuring detective Harry Hole to be published in the U.S., The Devil's Star (Harper, translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett). "Nesbø brilliantly incorporates threads from earlier novels, including Hole's often tumultuous relationship with his lover, Rakel, without ever losing the current story's rhythm. Even with—or perhaps because of—his flaws, Hole is arguably one of today's most fascinating detectives." - Publishers Weekly. The Devil's Star follows The Redbreast and Nemesis, and yes, more are to come. Also due to be on hand is Jo Nesbø's children's book debut, Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder (Simon & Schuster), a novel of fun, charm, and mischief intended for intermediate (ages 8 - 12) readers. Free admission. Leif Erikson Hall is in Ballard at 2245 NW 57th Street. For more information, call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600.
