FRANK A JENSSEN (1952-2017)
Norwegian
author, journalist, photographer, musician, outdoor life enthusiast,
etc.
Jenssen has done comprehensive work on documenting, amongst other
things, the Lofoten Fishery and small-type whaling. He has also
produced nature programmes for NRK radio.
Jenssen made his literary debut in 1981 with the novel “The Salt Bin”
which was presented with the Tarje Vesaas Debutant Award. His second
novel, “The Year of Longing” finally arrived 23 years later and
attracted, if possible, even greater attention. The book has been
described as a great epic work that will stand out in Norwegian
literary history.
