Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

No current Norwegian writer can say so much in so few words. No one leaves you with so much food for thought and reflection as Kjell Askildsen... I have always had to return to his books. I never finish with them.--Jahn Otto Johansen "Aftenposten "

[Askildsen] offers stark portraits of male sexuality and familial dysfunction that are full of compelling strangeness.--Max Liu"The Independent" (01/01/0001)

Reseña del editor:

A man and a woman in an isolated house, surrounded by nothing, or nearly nothing; besieged by urban desert or actual wilderness, by alcohol, cigarettes, and ghosts; by mothers, fathers, and lovers who have disappeared... Written in a seemingly unadorned style, with flashes of pitch-black humor, Askildsen's devastating stories convey in few words a portrait of life and thought as they are actually experienced, balanced between despair and hope, memories and expectations. He is recognized as one of the greatest Norwegian writers of the twentieth century, and among the greatest short-story authors of all time.
