It's in Norwegian only. I called up the publisher Damm, and they told me that the book will hit the stores no more than ten days after the release date. Their webshop doesn't do international shipping, so she recommended www.tanum.no for those outside Norway that want a copy. Also no info is available about translation into English. I'll ask Ronni about that.

You are god at translation Pest.

Could you do the whole book for me please.

"In the beginning there was light... and from the corner of a young boy's room, you could hear someone swear loudly. "F minor, Ronni. Fuck!. It's not that damn difficult... Damn fingers..." He licked blood off the tips of his left hand."

Nah, I don't think so ... I'm quite sure that if the interest is big enough, that an English version would be possible. I'll check with Ronni.

I'd like to read the entire book though.

Tusen Takk Min Venn!

I've been brushing up on my Norweigian just so
I can read it! Would be cool to get it in English, though!

it was sent for print a few days ago

the cover looks nothing short of amazing! to be honest one of the best i have seen in a while. and thats not because im so excited about the book! its actually really great

about making it international... thats for all to guess. i have no clue! BUT the cd/dvd that comes with it is named "hooked" (yes, in english). so thats prepared for international realese. i dont understand why it is named in english, but it is...

i tell you it will be an interresting read! and hope for some english publishing house to buy it. i dont know if thats likely though. i guess it depends a lot on how it sells in norway. it will be printed a fairly large amount of copies.

i could have told more, but im not sure what i am allowed to say, so i'll my mouth shut for now.

Norwegian title is "Hektet", which translates to "Hooked" in English. (According to marketing department in Damm. ) I'll get info from Ronni if he knows anything about an international version of the book.

PeSt

the norwegian version is called "hekta" but the cd/dvd is titled "hooked". i know for sure because i personally sent it for printing

Of course it is Hekta... It's "toten" dialect ... My bad.

lol

PeSt

hehe. yep. and it sounds so much better than hektet do you know what the dvd will feature?? it says cd/dvd. what do that mean? both cd and dvd???

...at the same time I recorded some material for a minialbum (with livecut '81, Magica Live etc) that's going be a bonus with a book written about me

I'll get the details from Ronni.

PeSt

The book is scheduled for 1-Sept release, but may possibly be delayed a little to allow the TV show help promoting it.

The disc that is included in the book has both video and audio. I'll get the excact contents from Ronni when he stops mingling around his guests here at the Farm.

PeSt

(hehe)he`s a busy man these days,but I think we all looking forward to that book

Oh, and there is unfortunately not any plans for an international release....

PeSt

im sure it depends on the sale in norway. some foreign publishinghouse need to buy it from Damm. i dont think its very likely though.

how big a market would this book have in other countries??
