Riassunto

Doppler has a nice house, a nice wife and a nice job. But Doppler isn't happy. 'Wonderfuly subversive, funny and original' Observer. 'A darkly comic fable' Independent. When his father dies, Doppler decides to leave everything behind and start a new life in the forest. There, deep amongst the trees, he reconnects with nature, ponders the meaning of life, and bonds with a baby elk called Bongo. Sweet, funny and subversive, this is a charming fable about the pressures of modern existence and finding friends in the strangest of places. 'Dead-pan comedy' Financial Times. 'An absurdist, hilariously subversive novel'Saga.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Compelling, disquieting and perceptive' --Adresseavisen.

'Shamelessly charming without intellectual fuss.' --Stavanger Aftenblad.

'With Doppler Erlend Loe has become Norway's most alarming writer.' --Dagens Noringsliv.

The understated, self-regarding voice of Doppler becomes rather addictive, and when one realises that the whimsicality is actually sugaring a rather bitter pill, the experience of reading the book becomes more complex than a simple enjoyment of its absurdities. And if the reader is able to cope with these absurdities not everyone will they may find themselves enjoying a darkly comic fable which makes, en passant, some astringent points about the way we live today. --The Independent

Wonderfully subversive, funny and original. --Salley Vickers, Guardian

Descrizione del libro:
