After ten years of silence, Peter Høeg’s fifth novel “The Quiet Girl” hits Danish and international public alike in the form of a loud and eclectic pseudo-thriller. Labeled as post-modern, magical-realist, social realist, and gothic (to name but a few), dismissed by some as new-age pop philosophy while hailed by others as an astute criticism of civilization in general, it seems that the only agreement that can be reached is that Peter Høeg’s work is hard to place.In answer to accusations...

More than that, though, StatoilHydro's technological muscle on show at Ormen Lange can give it an advantage when bidding for projects in places like the Arctic, says Kjetil Bakken, an analyst at investment bank Fondsfinans in Oslo...
...Paul and his supporters will surely "remember, remember the fifth of November." On the occasion of a British holiday that commemorates the thwarting of a 17th century plot by rebel Guy Fawkes to blow up Parliament (most recently referenced in graphic novel and film V for Vendetta), the libertarian Republican raised $4.2 million in 24 hours. The one-day total sets a record for GOP candidates, besting the previous top haul by more than $1 million...
