Inge Krokann (1893 - 1962) was a Norwegian writer. Because his writing is so strongly tied in the use of dialect and idiosyncratic nynorsk, his works are largely inaccessible and arguably untranslatable. His work was characterized by:
- Vivid descriptions of the relationships between man and nature in the harsh environment around his birthplace of Oppdal;
- Effective and innovative use of the Oppdal dialect and nynorsk in his writing;
- A strong sense of history in his writing, tying together the pagan and Christian eras in Norwegian history.
He worked as a teacher most of his life, though he was disabled by disease at an early age. His most famous work is I Dovre Sno (In the Snow of Dovre), an epic story of the Loe family in the Middle Ages. He was born in Oppdal, and died in Gausdal.
