Egil Rasmussen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Egil Rasmussen (born April 28, 1903 in Bossekop village, Alta municipality, and died June 18 1964) was a Norwegian author, literature critic and musician.

The family moved to Tromsø when Rasmussen was 3 years old, and he grew up there.

Rasmussen worked for many years as a lektor^[1]. He received his Ph.D. in 1949. From 1948 to 1964 he wrote as literature critique for the Aftenpost newspaper. His first literary effort was at 20 years of age when he produced the novel Østen og vesten in 1923. His last novel, Den siste skrivekaren. En norsk bygdelegende, was a dystopic vision of the future, which came out posthumously in 1966.
