Massacre in Norway

“By articulating the experiences that we can hardly bear to imagine, Bromark has contributed to demystifying the lunacy and exorcising the malevolent specters of the massacre.”—Sten Inge Jørgensen, Verdens Gang, Norwegian daily newspaper

 

 

“Stian Bromark’s writing touches us deeply and offers unique insights into the individuals’ thoughts, doubts, faith, and feelings of loss as they teeter between life and death.”—Vidar Kvalshaug, Aftenposten (Evening Post, Norway)

“Bromark has made a supreme effort to depict the Labor Youth camp on Utøya and the youngsters’ suffering, and the result shows. The book stands out as one of the better ones on the topic.”—Frank Rossavik, Morgenbladet (The Morning Paper, Norway)

“As I was reading, I understood more of who we were that fateful day last year. The ‘We’ can here be understood as the Norwegian public. The random survivors who tell their stories here perform acts that are so mundane they could very well be each one of us. The many different response patterns of the individuals who were the victims of the massacre reflect the very reactions we could have had if we ourselves had been in the firing line.”—Knut Hoem, NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation)

 "Massacre in Norway offers a gripping account for readers unfamiliar with the attacks."—Elizabeth Peifer, H-War
