Page "Norwegian literature" Paragraph 31

After a short period the Profil group went separate routes, as authors such as Dag Solstad, Espen Haavardsholm, and Tor Obrestad turned to the newly formed party Workers ' Communist Party ( Arbeidernes kommunistparti or AKP ), and become involved in formulating a new political program that based on the view that literature should serve the working people and their uprising against capitalism.

Arild Asnes Solstad's 1970 is a key novel to understanding the desire of the modern intellectual to connect with something larger and more realistic – the working people and a cause.
