Translated by Tara Chace.
Three disparate lives converge in this pensive, enigmatic Swedish import. Anon is a twelve-year-old loner. Zarah is a beautiful seventeen-year-old caught up in a (graphically described) sexual relationship. Nils is a twenty-year-old college student searching for the meaning of life and death. This sophisticated novel hooks readers in with its intriguing portrayal of how individuals can affect one another's destiny.
