On the Couch: Lars Mytting - His life and work
Lars Mytting is a writing phenomenon. He’s one of Norway’s most acclaimed writers, with more than two million books sold, and available in 24 languages. On publication, his fiction ignites a global reading frenzy, but Lars’ first success was Norwegian Wood, written about ‘chopping, stacking and drying wood in the Scandinavian way’. Lars spoke to New Zealand novelist Cristina Sanders, a descendant of Norwegian settlers.
Recorded at the Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival on 10th May 2025.
