    My Men

    The intense, progressively feverish quality of the novel is far closer to the visceral interiority of Clarice Lispector or Jean Rhys than anything by Jo Nesbø or Stieg Larsson... A singular novel of unusual power from a fearless and remarkable writer

    "Kielland plumbs Belle’s inner life through jaggedly rhythmic prose, where what should be obvious is sometimes opaque and what’s often shrouded — female rage — takes center stage."—Sarah Weinman, The Best Crime Books of 2023, The New York Times"My Men is a stylistic tour de force . . . It reads like an expressionist prose-poem penned by a stark-minded zealot . . . Kielland is clearly a gifted writer, and My Men is an impressively realized creation." —Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal"My Men, superbly translated by Damion Searls, is a portrait of a woman trying, and failing, to escape her punishing trajectory. Bit by bit, day by day, we see, and come to understand, what has made Belle Gunness a killer."—Sarah Weinman, The New York Times Book Review"The torrent of stunning prose in this novel is almost as violent as the protagonist, Belle, herself."—Alana B. Lytle, CrimeReads"A short, sharp shock of a book . . . [My Men is] a singular novel of unusual power from a fearless and remarkable writer."—Carys Davies, The Guardian"My Men paints an extraordinary portrait of the inner turmoil and ecstasy of the woman widely regarded to be America’s first female serial killer, Belle Gunness."—Catherine Jarvie, Marie Claire (UK)"Entirely chilling."—Sara Batkie, Chicago Review of Books"Victoria Kielland’s My Men doesn’t take a sensationalistic approach; instead, this novel provides an impressionistic version of Gunness’s story, illustrating her struggle for control over her own life and the increasingly lethal forms that control ends up taking."—Tobias Carroll, Words Without Borders"[My Men] is the rare quiet literary thriller that haunts with its lyricism and exquisitely wrought characters."—David Gutowski, Largehearted Boy"Each line of the novel, carefully translated by Searls, conjures a beauty that begs to be read aloud.

Battaglia, Chicago Review of Books"This novel turns the tropes of true crime on its head." —Michael Barron, The Rumpus"This fascinating, off-kilter novel about a female serial killer is an unexpectedly thrilling read.”—Karl Ove Knausgård, author of My Struggle and The Morning Star"Kielland’s dense, lyrical novel offers both insight and opacity . . .  Despite the subject matter, this novel is not your typical thriller. The language, in Searls’ translation, is dense, poetic, and deeply figurative." —Kirkus Reviews"[A] provocative English-language debut . . . [Belle Gunness's] spiritual yearning and profane desires are captured in dynamic and subversive prose . . . It’s an impressive feat of historical imagination."—Publishers Weekly"Kielland’s pithy tale lingers long after the reader is finished.

    'Een literaire prestatie van het hoogste niveau.' - John Vervoort in De Standaard der Letteren (5 sterren) Mijn mannen is een fictief werk geïnspireerd door de werkelijke gebeurtenissen van Brynhild, een Noors dienstmeisje. Brynhild emigreerde aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw naar Amerika en werd Bella Sørensen, en daarna Belle Gunness uit La Porte, Indiana. Na haar dood staat Belle bekend als Amerika’s eerste vrouwelijke seriemoordenaar, maar Kielland schrijft over een gebroken persoon, over teleurstellingen en afgronden, over jezelf niet verliezen, over wie mag leven en wie moet sterven: ‘Wie liefheeft met heel zijn hart zal de liefde nooit overleven.’ In de pers: 'Het is een heel apart, bijzonder boek. Echt een staaltje van zintuiglijk, gedurfd, adembenemend impressionisme. Een zeer aanprijzenswaardige roman.' - Christophe Vekeman, Radio 1 (Klara) 'Zintuiglijke scènes die ongeëvenaard zijn in de hedendaagse Noorse literatuur. De tekst onderzoekt waar de kiem van een criminele grenzeloosheid zich bevindt en hoe de werkelijkheid wordt gevoeld wanneer een menselijk emotioneel register zich heeft uitgebreid tot het morbide.' - Stavanger Aftenblad 'Een van de mooiste en ook meest gruwelijkste plots die ik ooit heb gelezen. Een prestatie die zowel gedurfd als verfrissend is.' - Dagbladet
