The Wandering Pine by Per Olov Enquist
When everything began so well, how could it turn out so badly? A blisteringly frank autobiographical novel by Sweden's great man of letters - for readers of K. O. Knausgaard's My Struggle.
Some lifeSome novel . . . Wonderful, brave, evocative . . . It is a remarkable story, and Enquist is remarkably frank in narrating every last detail -- Russell Leadbetter * Herald *
The Wandering Pine, rather like Arthur Miller's Timebends, is a fascinating portrait of intellectual life during the twentieth century -- Kate Webb * Times Literary Supplement *
Fascinating . . . Works best when it feels most like a novel - most obviously in its oblique beginning and end -- James Kidd * Independent *
A riveting objective autobiography -- Peggy Woodford * Church Times *
'A deeply impressive book' Expressen. * Expressen *
'One of the contemporary novel's greatest human investigators' Paul Binding, Independent. * Independent *
