Kultförklarade Erlend Loe är tillbaka med en ny roman.

Kultförklarade Erlend Loe är tillbaka med en ny roman. Den här gången berättas den tragikomiska historien om Andreas Doppler, som får nog av all duktighet, trivsamhet och konsumtionshysteri och helt sonika lämnar sitt välordnade familjeliv, flyttar till skogs och blir bästa vän med en älg. Men livet i skogen blir inte så fridfullt som han hoppats på. Loes absurda humor och underfundiga samhällskritik når denna gång nya höjder. "Hans dråpliga ironier är både bitska, träffande och varmt varsamma på samma gång." Aftonbladet "Loes bästa roman." Sundsvalls Tidning "Språket hela tiden glasklart, varenda ord genomtänkt." Stockholm City "Detta är en enastående bok, ett litet mästerverk." Trelleborgs Allehanda

  • Doppler

    Andreas Doppler ha un lavoro, una casa, una moglie, due figli. È - da sempre - un vincente: bravo a scuola, bravo negli sport, bravo a fare carriera. E adesso, dopo la morte del padre, una caduta in bicicletta e una botta in testa che gli hanno fatto ... (read full critics)

    This is a brilliant book. Like Loe's other ones, this is also about an apocalypse in the mind, body and soul. A busy family father topples from his bike onto the ground which stuns him; as he lies in the grass, concussed and estranged from his hectic everyday existance, he starts unraveling and reaches two conclusions: 1) he dislikes people and 2) he must move to the forest.

    So he does move into the forest, away from his wife and two kids, and befriends a deer (after slaughtering its mother). And that's just the start.

    Radiant writing, quite in-tact with Loe's previous writings so if you've read him before I think you'll fairly soon find your way around this novel as well, and if you haven't, you're in for a treat.

    A lot of humor, a bit of tragedy and a lot of everyday bliss. Paper-bag-from-American-Beauty-ish. Love it.
