The Earth Turns Quietly

These 14 varied and well-written short stories deal with many different issues – global problems as well as personal dilemmas. Both distaste and hope is expressed, but the protest is often displayed quietly, in feebleness and through lack of communication. With its sensitive society awareness, the book mirrors knowledge and experiences applying to an entire generation, and have turned out to apply to new generations. The storyteller Jan Kjærstad reveals his true self from the very first line.
