Overview Vilkår for liv

Ni is a precocious fox. She wants to kill a hen, to know the taste of its blood. She dreams of meeting a male fox beneath a shrub and exploring the longing she feels in her teats. But there are no male foxes.
 
This is the case for many species in the future.
A research team is trying to make the soil fertile again. Vemund is different from the rest of the research team. He is silent. Ni follows his scent. But can foxes and humans really meet?

Reviews Vilkår for liv

Et langt dystrere perspektiv enn frølageret gir uttrykk for 04.03.2018

«Det er en sterk og skremmende roman.»

«Boka anbefales.»

Margoth Hovda-LIen, Nordlys

«Det er en sterk og skremmende roman. (...) Den skriver seg også inn i en aktuell litterær tradisjon, som har fått merkelappen «avhumanisering» – fordi den både bruker og advarer mot skremmende trekk i vårt eget samfunn. Boka anbefales.»

Margoth Hovda-Lien, Nordlys
