The captivating new novel in English by one of Norway's most celebrated writers, T. Singer, delves into the depths of indomitable loneliness in Solstad's signature style, which combines elements of classic tragedy with darkly comic undertones.

"A kind of surrealistic writer... Serious literature," acclaimed Haruki Murakami describes Solstad's work. "Mad, sad, and funny... Thrilling," Geoff Dyer praises it.

Singer, a thirty-four-year-old recently trained librarian, arrives by train in the small town of Notodden to begin a new and anonymous life. He falls in love with Merete, a ceramicist, and moves in with her and her young daughter. After a few years together, the relationship begins to falter, and as the couple teeters on the brink of separation, a car accident triggers a dramatic shift in Singer's life.

"An utterly hypnotic writer," James Wood praises Solstad's writing. "Solstad is expert in delineating the absurdities of existence... Sunday Times"

Winner of the Norwegian Critics Prize, this novel showcases Solstad's exceptional talent for capturing the human condition with wit, depth, and emotional resonance. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a profound and thought-provoking literary experience.
