During His Brief Visit, the Author Discussed Sympathetic Serial Killers, the Social Responsibility of Crime

A new quiz challenges readers on their knowledge of Jo Nesbø's dark crime novels, from detective Harry Hole to snowmen and serial killers. The ten-question test covers the Norwegian author's decades of work, though it does not require memorizing Harry Hole's full biography. The quiz arrives alongside a related interview with Nesbø, who recently visited Budapest for the launch of his new novel "Vérségi kötelék" (Blood Ties), set in a claustrophobic small town in the Norwegian highlands. During his brief visit, the author discussed sympathetic serial killers, the social responsibility of crime writers, and the war of narratives.
