Siri Helle had no experience of building anything. But when she inherited a small cabin with no working utilities, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Alone, in a forest in western Norway, and armed with a chainsaw, she set out to build a privy.
Written with humor and insight Handmade is the inspiring story of someone who tried to do it herself - and did. In a world where we are increasingly becoming divorced from the act of making, Siri reminds us of the joy of creating something with our own two hands.
Siri Helle is an agronomist in organic farming. She occasionally works as a writer and journalist, carpentry assistant and goat herder.
Lucy Moffatt has translated books from Norwegian on subjects as diverse as female sexuality, the cryosphere, neuroscience, conservation biology and insomnia. In 2020 she won NORLA's Translator's Prize.
Kari Dickson is a literary translator from Norwegian. Her work includes crime fiction, literary fiction, children's books, theatre and non-fiction.
