A Young Man’s Confessions of Love

Frode Saugestad’s literary debut, A Young Man’s Confessions Concerning Love, [is] the ultimate postmodern novel. [...] A Young Man’s Confessions is a ”post-novel”, a novel following the collapse of the novel, and also a novel that demonstrates the collapse.

A Young Man’s Confessions Concerning Love has an unpolished and randomly amassed in-your-face quality.

There is a tremendous soreness and openness in A Young Man’s Confessions Concerning Love. […]A Young Man’s Confessions Concerning Love manages to expand the literary limits for self-exposure, whether the content actually adheres to reality or not.

Unrestrained, unlimited and highly self-exposing […] It is disgusting and attractive at the same time, and regardless of any moral or ethical reservations it is also a fascinating literary project.

Saugestad has written a dark, violent and exhausting book, but there are also comical elements, especially when he addresses his supposed successfulness […] Saugestad writes about emotions most of us wouldn’t even dare to mention.

As an autobiographical writer he is a genius.
