With a laptop in tow, he hopped a plane to Australia. " A
girl that I knew at a Norwegian publishing house asked if I
could write something about the band, " he recalls. " I said
'What happens on the road stays on the road, but maybe I
can come up with something else.' "
By the time the 30-hour fl ight from Oslo to Sydney landed,
Nesbø had created his main character, Harry Hole, a Norwegian
police detective and troubled maverick. Immersed in
writing while in Sydney, Nesbø cranked out his fi rst novel,
" The Bat, " in just fi ve weeks. Upon returning to Oslo, he
sent the manuscript to his friend at the publishing house
and then waited for a call. " I quit my job as a stockbroker, "
he says. " I told my band I didn't want to record anymore.
I wanted to write novels. Writing in Sydney felt in some
strange way like coming home. I was destined, not to be a
famous writer, but to write books. " Soon the call came that
the publisher wanted to print his fi rst book.
Since then, Nesbø has positioned himself as a best-selling
crime novelist. In addition to his popular Harry Hole series,
he's written several stand-alone novels and a series for children.
With fans around the world, even Hollywood has taken notice.
Success Breeds Success
Film production companies and Hollywood have been
eager to bring Nesbø's characters to the big screen. Nesbø's
stand-alone novel " Headhunters " quickly became the
fastest-selling book in Norway upon its 2008 release. When
the fi lm adaptation opened in August 2011, starring Aksel
Hennie, it became the most successful Norwegian fi lm of all
time. There's buzz that an American remake is in the works
with actor Mark Wahlberg rumored to be involved.
When Nesbø was asked what it would take for his novel
" The Snowman " to be adapted into the movie, he had one
name at the top of his director list: Martin Scorsese. Last
year, the Hollywood legend signed on to the project, and
fi lming is underway.
It seems that all Nesbø touches turns to gold, yet in true
Norwegian-style he keeps a humble attitude. " Every morning
I wake up and know that I have the best job I've ever had in
my life, " he says. " I feel so privileged. "
