Simon Flem Devold birthname Helge Flem Devold (17 March 1929 – 20 May 2015)[1] born in Namsos, Norway, was a Norwegian author, journalist and jazz clarinetist.
When he was three years of age he and his family moved to Ålesund, where he was raised. His change of name from Helge to Simon occurred in connection with his affiliation with Subud, a worldwide association with Indonesian Indonesian roots where «the desire for the individual is to find the person you want to be here on earth».[2]
In 2012, Devold received the Fritt Ord Honorary Award for his «groundbreaking commitment as a facilitator of children's voices, life experiences and rights» through the column «På skråss» in Aftenposten, often based on taboo themes.[3]
