Nesbø is ready with a new robber novel, just months after previous. He writes them because it’s fun. Even the title is characterized by it: Mere blood. And that’s what almost naturally.
But there’s more: Almost a happy ending too. Nearly yes, confirms Nesbø:
– It is as much a love story as a detective novel. “Son” was also a kind of love story, claims the author.
Hashish and Laestadians
More blood takes readers to Finnmark, where the protagonist one of fisherman failed clerks, read assassins fled. There he meets a beautiful and Laestadian woman.
– Hashish seller from Oslo 70s meets the nearest Norway came amish people.
Two extremes of culture. A woman and a man who are both lonely, in a vast landscape where it is easy to feel lonely, says Nesbø.
As naturally allows someone tried to kill them. Several times.
Likes north
The description of the plateau is rough. But Nesbø insists he wrote this with love of Finnmark.
Jo Nesbø is ready with new robber novel, ‘Mere Blood’, which he says is as much a love story as one crime.
– I was on summer vacations there with my aunt and uncle in Bugøynes. The years I worked in an office at the air base in Lakselv. I went Officer Candidate School and searched me Finnmark, I was the only one who wanted to go there, he said.
Jo Nesbø made sure to talk to people with different dependencies on læstadianermiljøet, too directly. He also read the thesis to social anthropologist Øyvind Eggen about a Laestadian congregation north.
She believes you can be saved. I do not think you will be saved, getting protagonist hear. Jo Nesbø choose to write about him in the I-form. It justifies him as follows:
– The self-deception we all allow ourselves, are easier to produce then.
Social reflex
Jo Nesbø has the answer ready questions about whom he writes for:
– I do not think of your readers. I’m not interested in thinking about them. The only thing I can contribute is to write books I like to read. And then hope that some parts that interest. I do not believe in trying to find readers. It’s like I invite them home, and then you get to see if they come.
The question of why he writes is slightly worse. Nesbø says he writes because he has to but because he wants to write. He concedes that there may be good formulations of him in interviews on the cause.
– The truth is not so strong that I do not know, it’s more about that I’m not sure. I think writing is a reaction on reading, just like music is a reaction to all the music you’ve heard. That it is like a social reflex that when friends sitting around a table and tell stories, and you’re bringing something even
too.
Reader Macbeth
Jo Nesbø reads a mixture of classics and contemporary literature, but says he reads so slowly. For the first time in his life has now started to allow himself not to read books finished.
– I’ve never done before. It has something to topple fifty and realize that you will not have time to read anything you want. Right now I read Macbeth.
It has to do with him last year agreed to join the British publishing house Hogarth project in which they have asked contemporary writers recreate Shakespeare’s classics for our time . Nesbø is in good company; Margaret Atwood, Jeanette Winterson, Gillian
Flynn has also said yes.
– It shall first out in 2017. In 2016 I come with a new book about Doctor Proctor, it’s just fun where the other books can be a mixture of several things, including pain and frustration, he said.
Acoustic in November
The musician Jo Nesbø also have new things on the sly, he said.

di derre have done festival summer, and will advance into the culture houses in the fall.
– We did a concert at the Norwegian Radium Hospital, quite simply, with bass and Comp. There we enjoyed, it did something to the songs. So now we’re doing an acoustic thing, says Nesbø.
