The Werewolf
The Werewolf is a boldly drawn novel of the tyranny of love over men and women and the unending trials of strength between good and evil in human nature. Its main characters are of heroic stature yet deeply flawed, moving against the backdrop of Norwegian society from World War I to the 1960s. Over the novel broods the symbol of the Werewolf, which for Sandemose represents all the forces hostile to a full, free life--the thirst for power over others' lives, the lust to destroy what cannot be possessed or controlled. In their private encounters with the Werewolf, few can claim total victory. Sandemose's characters all bear the scars of lost battles.
A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks
Part of a long series of novels about the author's alter ego, Espen Arnakke, a sailor from Jante, Denmark, begun in 1931 and continuing to 1938. He explores his irrational act of murdering a friend who seduced his girlfriend. This part is set in the small narrow-minded Danish village he calls 'Yoknapatawpha' where Espen explores his childhood to find out who he is.

September
Røde Fane har taget arbejde hos gamle Pedersen, der er udødelig til sin 111 års fødselsdag. Her møder han farmerkonen Vera Tynsset, og de indleder en affære drevet af et stærkt erotisk begær. Kærligheden mellem de to er stærk, men da Veras mand opdager forholdet, må fortællingen nødvendigvis ende i tragedie. 'September' er den tredje bog om nybyggerne i Alberta og blev udgivet i Norge i 1939. Med skarpt satirisk pen tegner Sandemose i 'September' et portræt af et dansk nybyggersamfund i Canada og deres importerede Jantementalitet. Romanen udspiller sig i årene under første verdenskrig, og de interne magtkampe i det lille samfund kan på mange måder ses som en spejling af det...
