Author Carl Frode Tiller joins us to discuss the first two books in his Encircling Trilogy.

A winner of the European Prize for Literature, the English PEN Award, and the Hunger Prize, the first novel, Encircling, introduces us to David, who, after losing his memory, is encouraged by his psychologist to reach out to friends and family to share their memories with him.

The second book in the series, Encircling: Origins continues the story of David through three new characters, a group of close friends from his childhood on the backwater island of Otterøya. Ole, a farmer struggling to right his floundering marriage, recalls days in the woods when an act of pretending went very wrong.
