Roy Jacobsen joined Stephen Sparks, owner of Point Reyes Books, to discuss the first three books in the Barrøy Chronicles: The Unseen, White Shadow, and Eyes of the Rigel (Biblioasis).
This conversation was recorded on April 14, 2022.
Praise for the Barrøy Chronicles:
“A profound interrogation of freedom and fate, as well as a fascinating portrait of a vanished time, written in prose as clear and washed clean as the world after a storm.”-The Guardian
“With every sentence in his new novel, Roy Jacobsen shows how his characters carve their morality out of the dried driftwood found on the small islands of war-ravaged Norway. White Shadow is yet another masterpiece by Jacobsen, who continues in this short novel to track the vicissitudes of the life of his young heroine Ingrid Barrøy … White Shadow is a powerful psychological novel.”-World Literature Today
