Jonas Wergeland is a successful TV documentary producer and something of God's gift to women. But one day he returns from the world's fair in Seville to discover his wife dead on the living room floor. What follows is not only a quest to find the killer but also a whimsical look at just how Jonas came to this particular juncture. Following the twists and turns of his life up to an unforgettable, edge-of-your-seat conclusion, this post-modernist novel is an international best-seller and winner of the prestigious Nordic Prize 1999, Scandinavia's highest literary honour.
Jan Kjaerstad is a Norwegian author and a theology graduate from MF Norwegian School of Theology and the University of Oslo. He is known as one of the leading and most original writers in contemporary Norwegian literature and has received a number of prizes, including the Nordic Council Literature Prize which he was awarded for his 1999 work, Oppdageren (The Discoverer).
