Fiction
We were going out stealing horses. That was what he said,
standing at the door to the cabin where I was spending the
summer with my father. I was fifteen. It was 1948 and one of
the first days of July. Trond’s friend Jon often appeared at his doorstep with an
adventure in mind for the two of them. But this morning was
different. What began as a joy ride on “borrowed” horses
ends with Jon falling into a strange trance of grief. Trond
soon learns what befell Jon earlier that day—an incident
that marks the beginning of a series of vital losses for
both boys. Set in the easternmost region of Norway, Out Stealing Horses
begins with an ending. Sixty-seven-year-old Trond has
settled into a rustic cabin in an isolated area to live the
rest of his life with a quiet deliberation. A meeting with
his only neighbor, however, forces him to reflect on that
fateful summer.
