THIRTEEN NIGHTS

From Narvik to thirteen nightclubs – a blunt, fast-moving and self-deprecating success story about hunger, timing and the price of always being awake. Here are bank meetings that go straight to hell, partners who vanish, queues around the block, and a silence that finally demands its due. A biography that reads like a test drive taken at far too high a speed.

He grew up with ore trains, darkness and the feeling of being behind. Twenty years later he owns thirteen nightclubs in two countries. Thirteen Nights is the story of the boy from Narvik who took his student loan to Sweden and discovered he had a rare ear for what people want at two in the morning. It's a story about queues around the block, contracts written on napkins, a partner who disappeared with the cash, and an audit that lasted eighteen months. But it's also the story of what the nights cost. Because when the music stops, someone is left standing in an empty light, having to ask himself who he really is. Fast, funny and unexpectedly honest.
