Through the Night by Stig Saeterbakken
Dentist Karl Meyers worst nightmare comes true when his son, Ole-Jakob, takes his own life. A dark and harrowing story, drawing on elements from dreams, fairy tales, and horror stories, the better to explore the mysterious depths of sorrow and love, Through the Night is Stig Sterbakken at his best."Readers may lose the plot's thread in a surreal sequence towards the end, but it is not wholly disorientingThough hardly uplifting, Saeterbakken last is notable for the beauty and heartbreak of its narration."
"Saeterbakken entices the reader along some dark paths from which, in the end, there is no easy escape."
