• This is not a catalogue
of my work but a selection. There is also an alphabetical index and two indexes for the Norwegian texts – an alphabetical and a subject index.
• Things could have been organised differently. I've tried out several models. This bilingual network of texts is probably best viewed as an ecosystem, imperfectly integrated but far from static. If you are looking for a text not listed below, send me a mail and I'll see what I can do.
