Kjell Ola Dahl
Question: Why crime mystery?
K.O. Dahl: Because i love mysteries, it is like coffee in the morning.
Q: Do you know German crime fiction?
K.O. Dahl: I am afraid not – exept some on TV. But they doesn't count do they?
Q: If so, what do German crime mysteries mean to you?
K.O. Dahl: – – –
Q: Do you think, German crime fiction can compete with international crime fiction?
K.O. Dahl: Of course they can.
Q: Which author is overrated?
K.O. Dahl: In my opinion there are good books and there are bad books. Most authors write some good books and a lot of crap, which means that most authors is overrated, I guess.
Q: Which author is underrated?
K.O. Dahl: Lets stay on to the books.
Question: Is crime fiction literature to you?
K.O. Dahl: Yes. The good books.
Q: How did you get into crime mysteries?
K.O. Dahl: It is a long story, which involves one beautiful woman, one late night, some bottles of champagne, a police car, an angry husband and a typewriter.
Q: What is your favourite murder weapon?
K.O. Dahl: Knife, dagger, bajonett (and strangulation on a good 2nd, place). But I think I have more knifekillings than strangulatrions in my books.
Q: Murder – is it necessary?
K.O. Dahl: Then I have seen, if I can remember, some good crime stories without a murder beeing committed. I remember Sherlock Holmes was upset about some stolen jewelry once – but when looking back on my own crimestories, the answer is yes.
Q: Why do you write?
K.O. Dahl: I don't know. I still hope to find out by continuing to write.
Q: Are your crime books set in the present?
K.O. Dahl: They are contemporary, yes.
Q: Where would you choose the setting?
K.O. Dahl: The setting is usualy defined by the idea of the story.
Q: What do food and drink mean to you?
K.O. Dahl: After survival, it is a cultural thing.
Q: Sex in crime?
K.O. Dahl: There are good books and bad books. The quality is not defined by sexscenes.
Q: If you do use it, why?
K.O. Dahl: Personally I put into the story what I find necessary – looking back on my books I think the answer is that sex is necessary. – – –
Q: If not, why?
K.O. Dahl: – – –
Q: Is there such a thing as "women's" crime fiction?
K.O. Dahl: I don't think so. But beeing a man, I am not the right person to ask.
Q: For whom do you write?
K.O. Dahl: I have no specific person in mind, no.
Q: Plot development – your first thoughts?
K.O. Dahl: I work a lot with that. But the characters come first. And in one moment of the process they becomes equal – the plot and the characters involved.
Q: Do you make any notes and where do you get your ideas from?
K.O. Dahl: I am writing a diary (in where I write down notes and ideas – never about what is happening in my life. It is very useful in my work.). The ideas are everywhere, they have to be looked up. And beeing a crime writer, I constantly look up ideas.
Q: Where do you write?
K.O. Dahl: I have an office in my house.
Q: Does the PC get in the way of your writing?
K.O. Dahl: I write on a mac. It is my third, the first one bought in 1988 – and the computer is very important for my work.
Q: Your favourite book as a child?
K.O. Dahl: Was it Robin Hood? or Tom Sawyer? or Huck Finn? or was it the Three Musquteers or ... I had a lot of favourites, I am never able to pick number one.
Q: Your favourite book today?
K.O. Dahl: The one I am reading at the moment.
Q: Your favourite male/female crime writer?
K.O. Dahl: Was it Chandler or Hammett or J.M. Cain or Jim Thompson – ... it is always like that. I have a lot of favourites in many respects – but there is never a clear number one.
Q: Your favourite movie?
K.O. Dahl: May be "The Third Man" or "Lost Highway" or "Dead Reckoning" or "Double Indemnity" or "The Getaway" or "The Usual Suspects" or "The Big Heat" or ... I am a film freak and on my website i have a project going: Sort out the 100 best movies – in my opinion. They include a gap of time from Fritz Lang's "M" and Wellman's "Public Enemy" up to Fincher's "The Game" and Lynch's "Mulholland Drive".
Q: Your favourite drink?
K.O. Dahl: Plain water. ( strange – I was able to pick one favourite.)
Q: Do you cook?
K.O. Dahl: Yes.
Q: Do you go out to eat, if so where?
K.O. Dahl: I sometimes do, yes. I have some preferable hangouts in Oslo: Theathercaféen and Lorry. I love seafood. When travelling, I like to check out local seafood

K.O. Dahl: Maths.
Q: What was your worst subject – and why?

Q: Your dream job?
K.O. Dahl: Beeing a writer.
Q: Do you have any idea why you answered this list of questions?
K.O. Dahl: I guess it is because I love mysteries – and the solution that comes to light in the end.
Kjell Ola Dahl
Geboren am 4. Februar 1958 in Gj�vik / Norwegen. Nach dem Studium arbeitete er als Lehrer. Im Jahr 2000 gab er diesen Beruf auf, um sich ganz dem Schreiben zu widmen. Kjell Ola Dahl lebt mit seiner Frau und seinen Kinder im ländlichen Feiring, der nahe dem größten See Norwegens, Mj�sa, liegt. Dort findet Kjell Ola Dahl Entspannung bei der Arbeit auf den Feldern und im Forst, aber auch in der Wartung des bäuerlichen Fuhrparkes.
1993 debütierte der Autor mit "D�dens investeringer" (Tödliche Investitionen, 1996 bei Goldmann). Für seinen im Jahr 2000 erschienenen Kriminalroman "En liten gyllen ring" (Sommernachtstod, 2002 bei Ehrenwirth) erhielt er im selben Jahr Skandinaviens begehrtesten Krimipreis, den "Riverton Award".
