Iron & Metal

The drum set stands ready on the stage. The drummer is Leon Borg. He has been consigned to the dustbin of history. This is his last concert, only he doesn’t know it. Rebecca Bratberg didn’t want to divorce her husband. But she did want to run off with someone else. Now she is finally with him. He is a construction worker, has been for many years. His helmet is shaped like a cowboy hat, and he wants to be buried in his lunchbox. His lunchbox is made out of sheet metal.

Levi Henriksen is back with short stories about people in their everyday lives, their struggles, and their loves. The people we meet here have been moulded by the lessons life has given them. They have wagered, winning some, losing some. Common to all of them is that they still feel the inner warmth for all that is no more. Iron & Metal is Levi Henriksen’s first short story collection in nine years.
