About This Item
London: The Harvill Press, 2005. New and unread. First edition. Signed on the title page by the author. Hardback. 282pp. Dust jacket. Carl-Johan Vallgren is the author of eight books - this is the first to be translated from his native Swedish into English (by Paul and Veronica Britten-Austin). This novel tells of social oppression, official corruption and religious persecution but, at its heart, it is a love story. Moving, uplifting, at times dark and macabre, it stretched the bounds of imagination, presenting the bizarre as the everyday and leading you through it like a child, wide-eyed in wonder at a carnival. But though filled with curiosities it is a very human story of love and hate at their most extreme. Above all else, it is simply unforgettable. Book in near fine condition and unread. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped.
