Powderhouse is a novel which is set in an asylum for the criminally insane, where the narrator functions as a kind of porter, observing and commenting on the foibles of inmates and keepers alike. The patients are a motley collection, and their treatment is unorthodox to say the least; part of their treatment consists of composing and delivering a series of lectures on subjects dear to their hearts, such as the history of witchhunting and the most humane methods of execution. The doctors themselves have their own troubled history; and the narrator finds rich material amongst both for his study of the follies and evil of which mankind is capable. Yet he is not just a gloomy philosopher, but also a sensualist, and the novel is relieved by passages of lyrical beauty as he enjoys the velvety summer nights, the taste of black bread and white wine, and the gentle caresses of his lover.This is the first English translation of this novel from 1969 by the controversial Norwegian author Jens Bjørneboe, a man whose irreverent provocations of the sacred cows of his society several times landed him in a court of law. Powderhouse forms the second volume of a trilogy dedicated to exploring "The history of bestiality," following Moment of Freedom (1966), though it stands on its own with a different setting and narrator from the other two.

paperback. Condizione: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. London. 2017. February 2018. Norvik Press. Reprinted Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781909408388. Translated by Esther Greenleaf Murer. 208 pages. paperback. keywords: Scandinavia Norway Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - The second novel in Bjørneboe's History of Bestiality trilogy. The story is told by Jean, a janitor in a mental hospital in southern France. Jean keeps protocols and a written record of events occurring around him. Also in the hospital are a strange cast of characters, any of whom could have committed the execution-like hanging of an ex-German SS member around which the plot revolves. It's hospital policy that everyone can give a lecture and a large portion of the book is taken up with three lectures: the narrator talks about witch symptomatology; Lacroix, a Belgian executioner, offers up a powerful, Foucault-like piece on the history of capital punishment; and the acid-dropping Dr. Lefevre discusses heresy and heretics. inventory #43544.
