Tor Åge Bringsværd has died after a long illness.
Bringsværd is probably best known for having written the books about Karsten and Petra. The books are among Norway’s biggest children’s book successes and have also been adapted into a film.
Tor Åge Bringsværd (born 16 November 1939 in Skien, Norway-2025) was an author, playwright, editor, and translator and is perhaps best known for his speculative fiction. Together with long-time partner Jon Bing, he was also considered the first Norwegian author to write science fiction literature. Bringsværd regards himself as an anarchist, which is clearly reflected in some of his works. He is also known for his distinctive style of writing, for example, his seemingly random jumps to narratives or anecdotes with no clear relationship to the main story.
Still got his old book, Svarteboka.
