The Dolls, a collection of four stories, delves into a realm where characters face enigmatic illnesses, obscure human-made disasters, and devastating environmental losses. Within this unsettling narrative, a sister descends into the family basement, another sister rejects her younger brother, a third sister with memory loss seeks refuge at Notpla, and a fourth set of siblings embarks on a journey to Hungary, accompanied by their late mother in a coffin. Each sibling possesses a distinct version of their mother's story, creating a tapestry of narratives that blend elements of August Strindberg, Franz Kafka, Andrej Kurkov, Knut Hamsun, T.S. Eliot, Bela Tarr, and Hieronymus Bosch. Scavenius' universe, inspired by these influential authors, is a chilling and captivating realm where truth itself becomes ambiguous. In this era of propaganda, anything can be twisted and manipulated, leaving the reader questioning the reliability of their perceptions and the underlying narratives that shape their world.
