I've read It's Fine By Me by Per Petterson, recently translated from the Norwegian version which was originally published in 1992. It's the story of Audun beginning when he starts school in a new area after moving there with his mother. It becomes apparent he has had a troubled childhood and the reader learns more about this when the author takes us back to an earlier period before moving back to the present. The story is set in the early 1970s and Audun mainly keeps to himself apart from a friendship with a youth who is a socialist. 31/2/5Friday, June 14, 2013
