Jealousy and other stories. Nesboe Yu

Yu Nesbyo, the Norwegian writer and the leading representative of the Northern Nuar, does not cease to surprise. Breaking stereotypes, neglecting the rules of the genre, he shows a person as frankly as if we ourselves looked in the mirror, afraid to admit to ourselves: this is me. “There is no censorship in my head and there will be no censorship,” says Nesbyo. He never reveals his plans in advance, and until recently it was known that the writer was working on two collections of short prose. The first of them included seven criminal stories united by the topic of jealousy: the feelings of an ancient, strong, painful, unquenchable will, changing human nature. Two get acquainted on an airplane. She says that she wanted to die because of her husband’s betrayal and signed an agreement with a company that staging suicide. If a woman knew who was sitting in a neighboring chair... A tourist disappeared on the Greek island, and a detective person who has a unique ability to recognize jealousy during interrogation was invited to investigate... Suspicion falls on the brother of the missing person, and this motive of Cain and Abel echoes with The plot of the last novel Nesboe's Kingdom. Jealousy is hiding behind a thirst for justice, drives crazy, poisons life and changes it for the better only when the opponent manages to remove the opponent in the literal and figurative sense. Among the heroes of Nesboe there are cynics and simpletons, but they always act unpredictably - even for themselves, because in front of the green -eyed monster human logic is powerless.
