Erlend Loe (24 May 1969, Trondheim) is a Norwegian novelist,[1] screenwriter and film critic. Loe writes both children's and adult literature. He has gained popularity in Scandinavia with his humorous and sometimes naïve novels, although his stories have become darker in tone, moving towards a more satirical criticism of modern Norwegian society.[2]
