Jens Bjørneboe Author

The Norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe (1920–76) was one of the most controversial figures of his day; outspoken and anarchic, he clashed with most institutions in his determination to challenge repression, censorship and authoritarianism. Novelist, poet, playwright, journalist and essayist, he poured forth a steady stream of works which were as provocative in their subject matter as they were innovative in their form.
