A novel of intertwining historical threads, Love chronicles the celebrated Norwegian writer Tomas Espedals quest for death. The decision blossoms within I, the I-person, like some interior bloom, black and beautiful, on a warm spring day in May, and it is this resolution that fills his self-imposed final year with meaning: Death. It can be so beautiful. One must create this beauty for oneself. One must submit to this naturalness, one must choose it, like pulling the duvet over oneself in bed or jumping off a bridge. But almost immediately, life deals I a wildcard: a new love affair brings some of the best days he has ever known and threatens his pact with death. Will he be able to leave Aka and the child she is carrying? He has put an endpoint on his life to intensify experience, but is he sure that disappearing from their lives, becoming an absent father, is the best thing for all of them? Set against Espedals constant reference, the ebb and flow of the seasons, something close to ecstasy propels this most introspective of narratives towards a universal truth.
