In his new novel Lust, renowned Norwegian author Tomas Espedal reflects on the art of reading and writing, on memory and forgetting. How do we turn writing into a profession? Is it possible to make a living from it? And how does the life of a writer look? Drawing on forty years of experience, Espedal seamlessly weaves together life and literature, tackling profound existential questions alongside practical reflections on the ideal writing environment and the challenges of the literary industry.
