Life
As a teenager, his favorite authors were younger American writers such as Mikael Niemi or Peter Hoeg or poets such as James McMurtry or Lucinda Williams . In later years he was a local and feature journalist for newspapers such as Dagningen , Aftenposten , Arbeiderbladet , today Dagsavisen or the music magazine Beat .
