Lars Lenth

Lars Lenth (b. 1966) is Norway’s undisputed number one when it comes to fly fishing for trout. His literary debut came with the novel The same river in 2007, a fly fishing novel following a young man’s experiences through a season of fishing. The Norwegian patient introduced the lawyer Leonard Vangen and the criminal Rino Gulliksen, two characters who readers have grown fond of. Leo and Rino reappear in The Vega Brothers, Men who hate wolves, Gimme Shelter and King of Lofoten. In all five novels there’s a deep felt tension between man and nature.
