Norwegian by NightNorwegian by Night is the last adventure of a man coming to terms with the tragedy of his own life as he tries to save another's. It combines laconic, deadpan humour, moral seriousness, visceral grief, and narrative tension in a remarkable way. An extraordinary debut, featuring a memorable hero. Sheldon Horowitz 82 years old, impatient, and unreasonable is staying with his granddaughter's family in Norway when he disappears with a stranger's child.
