Lars Berg
Lars Kornelius Edvard Berg (16 May 1901 – 11 January 1969) was a Norwegian teacher, novelist, short story writer and playwright.
He was born at on the island of Kvaløya as the son of fisherman and farmer Emil Larsen Berg and Olufine Johansen, and grew up at a small farm. From 1947 he was married to Aud Norvåg. He died at Kvaløya in January 1969.[1]
He graduated from the teacher's college in
Tromsøysund Municipality from 1940 to 1967. He made his literary debut in 1934 with the novel Men det var det ingen som visste, and followed up with Du er den første kvinne in 1935. Berg was influenced by ideas from Freud's psychoanalysis. His candid treatment of sexuality-related problems in the first two novels led to strong reactions and initiated a spirited cultural debate in the late 1930s.[1][2][3] His next two novels were Du skal svare (1936) and Fire søsken går ut (1937).[2] In the late 1930s he also published a number of short stories in the periodical Arbeidermagasinet.[1]
