About this product

Product Information

"Reading a Petterson novel is like falling into a northern landscape painting--all shafts of light and clear palpable chill." --Time Fans of Per Petterson's other books in English will be delighted by this opportunity to observe Arvid Jansen in his youth from a fresh perspective. In It's Fine By Me , Arvid befriends a boy named Audun. On Audun's first day of school he refuses to talk or take off his sunglasses; there are stories he would prefer to keep to himself. Audun lives with his mother in a working-class district of Oslo. He delivers newspapers and talks for hours about Jack London and Ernest Hemingway with Arvid. But he's not sure that school is the right path for him and feels that life holds other possibilities. Sometimes tender, sometimes brutal, It's Fine By Me is a brilliant novel from the acclaimed author of Out Stealing Horses and I Curse the River of Time .

" It's Fine By Me . . . convey[s] those ordinary experiences close to Petterson's heart: the pleasure, for example, in the midst of domestic strife, of slowly and very carefully rolling a good cigarette, brewing the perfect coffee and settling down on the sofa with a fine book, like this one." - The Guardian " It's Fine By Me is many things-an engaging coming-of-age tale, a writer's halting journey and a story of family drama and the inevitable stages of grief. With Audun Sletten Petterson has created a hero with gutsy resilience and a nose for the truth of things. You'd like to meet him on a street in your own home town." - The Scotsman, " It's Fine By Me . . . convey[s] those ordinary experiences close to Petterson's heart: the pleasure, for example, in the midst of domestic strife, of slowly and very carefully rolling a good cigarette, brewing the perfect coffee and settling down on the sofa with a fine book, like this one." -- The Guardian " It's Fine By Me is many things--an engaging coming-of-age tale, a writer's halting journey and a story of family drama and the inevitable stages of grief.

Read this just for the pure pleasure of reading...
I bought this book because I really enjoy Per Petterson's writing. It's hard to describe. The most mundane things are described beautifully. He draws word pictures of his world as Jim Harrison does of his...and their worlds are quite different. This is a quite ordinary young man and his every day life. The book flap I think says that he fancies himself as James Dean. I didn't get the impression that he fancied himself as anyone but himself. If you haven't read a book by Per Petterson, do yourself a favor. You will enjoy it...guaranteed!
