Ingar Knudtsen

Our Norwegian guest of honour is Ingar Knudtsen. For years he has been one of the most productive Norwegian Science Fiction writers. With a large number of books, and an incredible number of short stories behind him, he is one of Norwegian SF's grand old men. He is also a really nice guy. Which was another good reason to invite him to be guest of honour at Quartercon.

For some reason, he has not been translated into English, but Norwegian readers will probably nod approvingly when hearing titles like Lasersesongen (The Laser Season), Tyrannosaurus Rex, Amazone-trilogien or Reisen til Jorda (The journey to Earth). For more information on Ingar, feel free to look up his homepage.

Lately, he has worked less with SF than he used to, but to thousands of Norwegian fans, and in many ways to himself, an SF-writer is what he is!
