# Endre Lund Eriksen

Endre Lund Eriksen (born 10 February 1977) is a Norwegian author and politician.

Lund Eriksen was active in Socialist Youth in his teenage years, and as a member of the Norwegian Socialist Left Party (SV) in Nordland, Eriksen was a deputy in the Storting Parliament from 1997 to 2001. In March 2015 he was elected to the SV central board with a special responsibility to follow up on the project "Yes to Northern Norway."

He made his book debut as an author in 2002, with the children's book Pitbull-Terje går amok (lit. Pitbull-Terje runs amok). The book received the Kulturdepartementets priser for barne- og ungdomslitteratur, and was made into a film, Pitbullterje (2005), with manuscript by Lund Eriksen. The film won the 2006 Amanda Award for Best Children and Youth Film.

Lund Eriksen has written three more books about Pitbull-Terje: Pitbull-Terje og kampen mot barnevernet (Pitbull-Terje and the fight against the Child Welfare service) (2006), that won the 2006 Arks barnebokpris, Pitbull-Terje blir ond (Pitbull-Terje turns evil) (2007), that won the 2008 UPrisen, and Pitbull-Terje på sporet av den tapte far (Pitbull-Terje and the hunt for the lost father) (2010).

Lund Eriksen has received several awards for his books, that have been translated to 11 languages including Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Sami, and Swedish.

En terrorist i senga [There's a terrorist in my bed] (2008), a novel for children by Endre Lund Eriksen, makes explicit references to 9/11 – but with playfulness and ironic revelation of xenophobia. Both books use aliens from outer space as "the other", but where Darlah presents a pessimistic view of our global future, En terrorist i senga is optimistic on behalf of the humankind.
