The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am by Kjersti Skomsvold
Mathea Martinsen has never been good at dealing with other people. After a lifetime, her only real accomplishment is her longevity: everyone she reads about in the obituaries has died younger than she is now. Afraid that her life will be over before anyone knows that she lived, Mathea heads out into the world."Original and movingKjersti Annesdatter Skomsvold portrays with absurd insight the horrible and fascinating aspects of nearing death. . . . Skomsvold has created a character adorably absurd in her language, thoughts and actions.”
* Dagbladet *“A gloomy feel-good novel about the irreparable loneliness of being human. A tragicomedy of rare quality.”
