Jo Nesbø talks about violence in his books, Anders Breivik and why his baddies are Arsenal fans

Jo Nesbø, creator of the bestselling Harry Hole thrillers, started out as a professional footballer but an injury led him to retrain as a financial analyst. He is also singer and songwriter in the rock band Di Derre. The band no longer records, but still tours.
 Like many fictional detectives, Harry Hole represents the male fantasy of freedom from the responsibility of a relationship. 
" There is a flipside to that kind of freedom, which is loneliness. But many people are so afraid of dying alone that they'd rather have a long life in an unsatisfying relationship with people they don't really love because at least then they won't die alone. But Harry realises you die alone anyway. He's not ready to give up his freedom that easily."
