"I Nu var det 1914 skildras den unge Olofs uppbrott från den norrbottniska barndomsmiljön och resan söderut till tungt kroppsarbete vid sågverk och tegelbruk, och till nya uppbrott. Som bildningsroman är den en klassiker i svensk 1900-talslitteratur med sin finstämda skildring av gränslandet "vid barndomens slut, när barndomen slits ur kroppen"."
