Nothing can be like it was: Merete Morken Andersen and Oceans of Time
Oceans have a way of closing in behind you. For a moment, you are there, bobbing in the briny water with the sun glancing off your skin. Then you are under, gone without a trace as those you’ve left behind search for answers to your disappearance. In much the same way, suicide is a death that defies description; it is a disappearance that seeks explanation, not in the act itself, but in the waves that have engulfed it. It is this sort of shadow-play that has propelled Norwegian author Merete Morken Andersen’s <I>Oceans of Time</I> to international recognition.
