Authorship[]

Mortensen's debut book, Alle forteller meg hvor bra jeg er i tilfelle jeg blir det (Everyone Tells Me How Great I Am in Case I Become It), was named 2009's best debut poetry book by Norway's largest newspaper, Aftenposten.[3] Mortensen has been called "Norway's most modern author"[4] and has been named one of the country's 30 young talents by Dagens Næringsliv.[5] In 2011 he self-published his coffe table book The Collected Jokes of Slavoj Zizek,[6] which he later sold to MIT Press, which republished his work in numerous languages under the title Zizek's Jokes[7]

Flamme Forlag published Mortensen's novel Samleren – in English, The Collector – in October 2015. The book was later publicly announced by Mortensen to be a remake of the novel The Burnt Orange Heresy (1971) by American writer Charles Willeford.

Willeford's novel was according to Mortensen, translated with Google Translate.[8] Mortensen himself leaked the information about his method and intention, first during a lecture, then in an interview.[9]

Following a prolonged public debate about the book,[10][11][12][13] the publisher retracted the book May 13, 2017, and paid an unknown amount to the Charles Willeford's estate.[14][15] However, the publisher uphold their opinion that the book could not be understood as ordinary plagiarism. The publisher insisted that the book was meant to address a grey area that they wanted to be debated.[16]

When the book was retracted from the market, Mortensen sold two copies of his book on Finn.[17]
