Jon Øystein Flink (1976) made his literary début in 2003.

The author intertwines threads and relations. His writing is musical, rhythmic and playful as he portrays these quirky, but immediately recognisable characters and their meetings with one another, their thoughts and real/unreal lives. Flink is experimenting, but does so convincingly.

Dagbladet wrote about his first novel:

"Ole-Kristian Oksrød" (2003): «This year's literary find! Well calculated style, burlesque and original, about the discomfort of post-modernist culture. Many first novels are forgettable, but Ole-Kristian Oksrød is, if not unforgettable, a novel that I will remember for a long time. There is something unique about it, not least thanks to the narrator.

The author is no 'skilful' debutante. He is more than that. He is a great and original storyteller.»
