‘A convincing and disturbing psychiatric thriller […] The finale is masterfully executed. Elvedal stretches credibility to the breaking point, but it just holds, not least because it is so well written. It is dark, it is depraved. It is thrilling and shocking. It is You Can Call Me Jan. Read at your own risk.’
NRK
