For øvrig mener jeg at Karthago bør ødelegges ebok

Me, who wasn’t even interested in the pergola. Not even a bit. It was Marianne, she thought it’d look majestic to have a pergola in the garden. The idea barged its way out after a trip to Rome, a long weekend at Easter, when we happened to eat at a restaurant down there called La Pergola – that’s where she got the idea. I’d barely managed to lug our suitcases into the house before she was in full swing outside inspecting the lawn. She stood there, waving her arms and giving directions. The snow hadn’t even melted yet. Can you picture it? said Marianne; but just because you’ve sat on a pavement in Rome with all kinds of hanging plants dangling about your ears, gorging on fine food and wine with the whole of antiquity shoved up in your face, that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to get the same feeling of affluence from having a few planks thrown up between your house and your garage. Krister Larsen is an electrician who takes great pride in his work, despite suffering from massive back pains. He is married to Marianne and they have a son, Andreas, who is 11. Krister is not happy. His son is having trouble at school. His wife is obsessed with building a pergola in the garden. And then there is Yvonne, a woman whom he is extremely attracted to, in spite of his vehement denials to himself and others. Krister is a regular guy with all the contradictions that that entails: sensitive yet bullying, a common man, but also a reader, a thinker, and a bodybuilder. Furthermore, I Consider That Carthage Must Be Destroyed is a novel about love, anger management and getting paid under the table. Krister is the voice of Kyrre Andreassen’s new novel, his first since Svendsen’s Catering in 2006.Foreign sales:Denmark, Gyldendal
