INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Hagerup, Klaus

Markus and Diana

(2) 4-6 Translated by Tara Chace. Markus, a charmingly nerdy thirteen-year-old with self-esteem problems, teams up with his brainiac sidekick, Sigmund, to hatch a complex plan for Markus to meet his movie star crush. The Norwegian setting lends a mild exoticism to a comic plot. Beneath the slapstick lies a deftly handled tale of childhood fears and a touching portrait of two relationships.
