Haave published a biography of Peter Wessel Zapffe in 1999 and graduated in history of literature in 2003 with a thesis on Ibsen's Ghosts. He was appointed as director of Henrik Ibsen Museum in 2008.[2][3] He was awarded the second prize of the Hjernekraft prize of the Norwegian Association of Researchers in 2017 for his work on Ibsen.[4] In 2019 he became a senior curator.
