– Nesbø has an amazing talent for storytelling, says author Gunnar Staalensen and also mentions scruffy working.

– When I sometimes hit Jo at an airport, I sit down to read a book, while Nesbø pulls PC and printer on a book.

Nesbø received “The Golden revolver” already in 1998, and has enjoyed tremendous success as a writer both at home and abroad.
