The reason I never tried to have them translated is that they are about a Norwegian guy traveling in Australia [The Batman] and Thailand [Cockroaches], exploring these societies and at the same time having them reflect Norwegian society. At the time Harry Hole started to be exported, it seemed a better idea to start with Harry where he belongs, in Oslo. But with the current developing interest for the character, I may consider it.
