Description

"There's beauty to be found outdoors, but it's not without its horrors. The conflicted role of humans in nature is a familiar theme, but few narratives hum with the surreal power of this one." -- Kirkus Reviews

An intensely graceful novel recounting scenes of the Norwegian countryside from one of Norway's most beloved 20th-century writers

Tarjei Vesaas's final work, The Hills Reply, is a flow of intensely lyrical autobiographical scenes. The vivid beauty of the wilds of Norway grounds the narrator's interior flashes.

The first sketch finds a boy, his father, and their packhorse clearing a logging road buried in snow as their surroundings give way to a crisis. Profound insights into human behavior, solitude, and nonverbal communication stand up to the power and immensity of the natural world. The land speaks to (and at times almost swallows) the central character, as he is pushed to the edge of what a body and mind can endure.

The hypnotic pulse of Vesaas's prose blurs the line between memory and hallucination, as it stares bravely into the unblinking eye of Nature. An unforgettable book, The Hills Reply is a visceral salute to the human spirit, to the ecstasy of wilderness, and to their tender overlapping.
