Since childhood he had been interested in astronomy and space exploration, and always did his best to keep the scientific details in his writing as correct as possible. His style was highly visual, with short, descriptive sentences which efficiently moved the story forward. He often wrote from a <a href="/entry/feminism">Feminist</a> point of view, many of the protagonists being competent women (see <a href="/entry/women_in_sf">Women in SF</a>). Like his close friend Øyvind <a href="/entry/myhre_oyvind">Myhre</a>, Knudtsen was fascinated by the colonization of the planet <b>Mars</b> (see <a href="/entry/colonization_of_other_worlds">Colonization of Other Worlds</a>). Many of his stories and novels deal with a future fight between the government on Earth and the separatist movement of <b>Mars Space Organization</b>.</p> <p>Knudtsen began to publish works of genre interest with short stories in the Norwegian <i>Science Fiction Magasinet</i>, which changed its name to <a href="/entry/nova_fantastiske_fortellinger">Nova</a> in 1973: the first of these tales was "Sykt sinn" ["A Sick Mind"] (1971 <i>Science Fiction Magasinet</i> #4). His stories being recognized as straightforward, entertaining sf (though with a message), he quickly became a readers' favourite. He wrote all kinds of fiction: sf, <a href="/entry/fantasy">Fantasy</a>, <a href="/entry/horror_in_sf">Horror</a>, <a href="/entry/magic_realism">Magic Realism</a>, <a href="/entry/dystopias">Dystopian</a> tales and mainstream work. In 1974 he won the Nova-Statuetten ["The <i>Nova</i> Prize"] for the best sf story or book in the previous year, voted on by <i>Nova</i>'s readers, for his short story "Planetfall" ["Planetfall"]. He won another one in 1977, and was among the finalists several times.</p> <p>His first story collection was <i>Dimensjon S</i> ["Dimension S"] (coll <b>1975</b>). Of his next two collections, <i>Under ulvemånen</i> ["Under the Moon of the Wolf"] (coll <b>1975</b>), and <i>Lasersesongen</i> ["The Laser Season"] (coll <b>1977</b>), the first one was horror and fantasy, while the second contained more of his excellent sf stories. The following year saw two short novels: "Planetjegerne" ["The Planet Hunters"] (1976 <a href="/entry/nova_fantastiske_fortellinger">Nova</a> #3) a <a href="/entry/space_opera">Space Opera</a> which never appeared in book form, and the <a href="/entry/dystopias">Dystopian</a> <i>Jernringen</i> ["The Iron Circle"] (<b>1976</b>). The latter won the Nova-Statuetten for 1977. By now he was definitely an established author of competent fantastic literature.</p> <p>Knudtsen's three juveniles for Cappelen Forlag were highly praised by both critics and readers. <i>Tyrannosaurus Rex</i> ["Tyrannosaurus Rex"] (<b>1978</b>) told the story of the first intelligent <a href="/entry/dinosaurs">Dinosaur</a>. <i>Tova – en roman fra Mars</i> ["Tova – A Novel From Mars"] (<b>1979</b>) and <i>Reisen til Jorda</i> ["Journey to Earth"] (<b>1981</b>) were genuine sf, belonging to his "Future History" of <b>Mars Space Organization</b>. The antagonists are young; both novels are also good reads for adults, as well-written <a href="/entry/childrens_sf">Children's SF</a> and <a href="/entry/young_adult">Young Adult</a> sf should be.</p> <p>The title story of <i>Operasjon Ares</i> ["Operation Ares"] (coll <b>1984</b>) was Norway's first sf murder mystery novel (see <a href="/entry/crime_and_punishment">Crime and Punishment</a>); this book also contained three additional short stories. <i>Pandoras planet</i> ["Pandora's Planet"] (coll <b>1986</b>) and <i>Tryllekunst</i> ["Magic Trick"] (coll <b>1987</b>) assembled all of Knudtsen's short stories which had not yet been published in book form. In the second half of his career he developed his writing into even more competent, fulfilled novels, and he did not write many more short stories.</p> <p>The paperback and <a href="/entry/comics">Comic</a> book publisher Bladkompaniet, who had published a few sf paperbacks in the fifties, were the major publisher of Norwegian sf and <a href="/entry/fantasy">Fantasy</a> in the nineties. Knudtsen's first contribution there was a trilogy about the <b>Amazons</b>, a mythical tribe of female warriors who are supposed to have lived in Tyrkia some 3000 years ago, where the women were in power and ruled their communities by female ideals and principles. The books were <i>Våpensøstrene </i> ["The Weapon Sisters"] (<b>1987</b>), <i>Rød Måne</i> ["Red Moon"] (<b>1989</b>) and <i>Løvinnens sjel</i> ["The Soul of the Lioness"] (<b>1990</b>). In 1989 <i>Rød Måne</i> received the Norcon-Prisen ["Norcon Prize"], which was the successor of the Nova-Statuetten. Ten years after, he wrote two sequels to the series: <i>Amasoner</i> ["Amazons"] (<b>2001</b>) and <i>Gudinnas døtre</i> ["The Daughters of the Goddess"] (<b>2004</b>). They mirror Ingar Knudtsen's views upon life and human beings in such a sympathetic way that they must be mentioned, though being fantasy rather than sf.</p> <p>Many readers also have strong feelings about <i>Kalis sang</i> ["Kali's Song"] (<b>1991</b>), a partly autobiographical novel telling the story of rock-and-roll-fan Ivan, a sewing-machine repairman. who gets involved in a mystery that turns into a worldwide conspiracy theory (see <a href="/entry/paranoia">Paranoia</a>) involving the Goddess Kali. (This has no connection to the Dan Simmon's novel of the same title.) Over the years, Knudtsen moved away from fantastic literature. He wrote about female soldiers in Vietnam and attack aeroplane pilots in Spain, and a novel about the hunting of wild wolves living naturally in Norway [these non-sf works are not listed below], along with some really charming children's books such as <i>Katteliv</i> ["Life as a Cat"] (<b>1985</b>). His last novel was published in 2008.
