Last year, Seierstad published a book (With My Back to the World), a portrait of 13 individual Serbians and one family during a decade of war. But she has refused publishers’ offers to write a book on her work that would seem, as she puts it, to be about “Me and My War.”
“I haven’t found the peace inside myself to settle down in any one place,” Seierstad admitted to the Oslo newspaper VG. “I am rootless.” According to Oslo’s Aftenposten, Seierstad recalls sitting in a bunker on the front line near Kabul as the city was liberated from the Taliban. She thought about death but was more concerned about getting shrapnel in her thigh—which would have stopped her from skiing. “Nothing is worth getting shot for,” is her mantra.
The journalist, who declared as a young girl that she would never want to become prime minister because she doesn’t belong to any party, has maintained her independence. If things are not going well for her in Norway, she simply takes off—and might end up riding on a tank with the Northern Alliance on their way to Kabul.
