A Bunch of Stuff, Coming Out/Happening Soon


Lucky Dragons


Lucky Dragons are playing in the Joinery on the
24th of June.


Matias Faldbakken

Echoing the revenge films of the Seventies, Unfun is a grotesquely hilarious story about the developers of the online slasher game Deathbox. Dealing with oppression, freedom and power, Unfun is at once disturbing and highly entertaining, introducing Faldbakken as a daring new voice in contemporary fiction. Acclaimed Norwegian artist Matias Faldbakken (b. 1973), unanimously hailed as the freshest new voice to emerge in Norwegian literature during the past decade, made his literary debut in 2001, with the much praised and award-winning The Cocka Hola Company – Scandinavian Misanthropy I. Two years later, it was followed by the equally critically acclaimed and vividly debated Macht und Rebel – Scandinavian Misanthropy II. Unfun is his latest novel. Unfun is out in July in English translation.
