Eggen also dealt with recent history and in 1993 published The Boy from Gimle . This work earned him a government grant in 2003. "He is a symbol of a whole generation," said a social democratic spokesman with the approval of the whole parliament.

Eggen's father was the editor of the Norwegian version of a journal for SS officers, the so-called SS Leitheft .
