Beatles is the story of Kim Karlsen and his three buddies, Gunnar, Ola and Seb and, yes, they occasionally like to think themselves as the Fab Four. They were born in 1951, and the story starts with the first wave of Beatlemania in Norway, in the spring of 1965. Each chapter takes a different Beatles song (or, near the end, post-Beatles solo songs) as its title and theme all the way through the winter of 1972. There’s drinking (lots of it), football, some love-fumblings (Kim has two girlfriends that he has to semi-juggle) and the sort of minor adventures that are part of growing up. Beatles is a well-written account of a generation, and of growing up in a specific time. It feels very real’ The Complete Review Voted the most popular Norwegian novel by Norwegian reader.
