Hole - Øyvind Torseter

Hole

Øyvind Torseter (Utgiver)

The protagonist of The Hole has discovered a hole in his apartment and tries to find an explanation for it. He seeks expert advice. But not everything can be explained. Perhaps he'll just have to accept that the hole is there? The Hole has simple, expressive drawings created by pen and computer, and there's a hole punched right through the book, so it really exists, even if it can't be explained. Les mer

The protagonist of The Hole has discovered a hole in his apartment and tries to find an explanation for it. He seeks expert advice. But not everything can be explained. Perhaps he'll just have to accept that the hole is there? The Hole has simple, expressive drawings created by pen and computer, and there's a hole punched right through the book, so it really exists, even if it can't be explained. Comic yet philosophical, simple yet deeply expressive, The Hole is quite simply--brilliant! "Hello, I've discovered a hole in my apartment...It moves...If you could come take a look...Bring it down, you say? What? Hello?!" Born in 1972, Oyvind Torseter is an artist and one of Norway's most acclaimed illustrators. He employs both traditional and digital picture techniques and has created six picture books on his own and many others with different authors. Torseter has received numerous prizes for his books, which have been translated into many languages. My Father's Arms Are A Boat (Enchanted Lion Books, 2012) was his first book to be published in the United States.

«Brain Pickings' 13 Best Children's, Illustrated, and Picture Books of 2013 "Off-the-wall (so to speak) and seriously fun, this story is one to give a child of any age for exploring and pondering."--Kirkus Reviews Blog "With its moody line drawings, sly humor, and witty use of the hole in each page (when it's not a hole, it's a streetlight, balloon, nostril, etc.), Torseter's story amuses, provokes, and leaves readers wishing for more." -- Publishers Weekly "This Norwegian import is an almost-wordless picture book that will surprise and delight. [...] Entirely playful and a truly wondrous look at the world, this book will have you reading it again right away." -- Waking Brain Cells "For a humorous demonstration of how a little thing can have big implications, look no further than "The Hole," by Norwegian writer and illustrator Oyvind Torseter. This stylish book has a single small hole drilled all the way through its middle, which brings readers in on the joke from the beginning... [...][a] curiously affecting story." -- The Wall Street Journal "the story of a lovable protagonist who wakes up one day and discovers a mysterious hole in his apartment, which moves and seems to have a mind of its own. Befuddled, he looks for its origin -- in vain. He packs it in a box and takes it to a lab, but still no explanation." -- Brain Pickings "This is an extraordinary book that will have kids boggled and intrigued, and adults thinking. Delectable free-form sketches and monochromatic colour make it visual splendour for any reader. Wonderful stuff." -- The Kids' Book Review»
