Welcome to the Great Science-Fiction & Fantasy Works web site!
You have apparently come to this page from a link on a search engine or another site. If this is your first visit here, I much recommend that you take a few minutes to look over the introductory material accessible via the red “Introductory” zone of the Site Menu available from the “hamburger” icon in the upper right of this (and every) page. An understanding of the purposes and principles of organization of this site will, I hope and believe, much augment your experience here, for this page and in general. You can simply click this link to get at the site front page, which, unsurprisingly, is the best place to start. Thank you for visiting.Quick page jumps:
Standard Disclaimer:
This is a brief discussion of Erik Fosnes Hansen and, of course, of some speculative-fiction books by Hansen.
This discussion and list does not necessarily include every book by Hansen: it includes only those books that I both know and like. Just as with the author list itself, omission of a particular item may mean I didn’t think highly enough of the omitted item, or it may simply mean that I have not yet sufficient familiarity with it. (In a very few cases, I have listed some books merely on the strength of my opinion of the author: all such books are clearly marked below, as throughout these lists, with a hash mark (#) before the title so you know what’s what.)
I don’t pretend that this discussion is a deep analysis. My intent is no more than to give you a rough idea of what kinds of tales Hansen tells, how those tales are usually told, and what makes them and Hansen worthy; in sum, to help you rank Erik Fosnes Hansen (and the works by Hansen listed here) on your personal literary “to do” list.
Regrettably, I have not yet had an opportunity to write an essay on this author, but the “Other Resources” section below will lead you to some information about the “Notable Books” listed farther down this page.
Much of what little there is concerns his mainstream novels—apparently quite good but outside our purview; there seems no analysis or criticism general to the author. About the best to be had is a page from his agent, the Cappelen Damm Agency, though it is more biographical than critically appreciative. Otherwise, all I can find are a few brief reviews of Tles of Protection (note, though, that a sequel novel is anticipated, though as of early 2021 with no announced title or date).
Those reviews include:
I could find none.
