Praise for Shyness and Dignity

Dag Solstad is an unflinching explorer of the plight of educated humankind in the face of the inexplicable, whose artistry matches his ambitious theme

Paul Binding, Independent

One for the grumpy old men

Scotland on Sunday

[A] compact and layered book... Solstad has a revered role in Norway as the chronicler of his country's changing times

Boyd Tonkin, Independent

I find him an utterly hypnotic and utterly humane writer. For me, 2015 was The Year of Solstad

James Wood, New Yorker

He’s a kind of surrealistic writer, very strange novels. I think that’s serious literature

Haruki Murakami
