A new bright and relevant work from the unsurpassed Swedish master of words - Karl-Johann Wallgren. A book conceived and written by the author as a joke with deep philosophical implications. A young Swedish writer, not recognized in his country, emigrates to Germany. Then he receives a letter from a literary official with an offer to write a brochure about the literary climate of his fatherland. The writer responds to the letter. And soon the justified and fair resentment towards Swedish critics turns into unjustified and unfair hatred of the entire country. The hero begins to suspect that the whole world is conspiring against him... Here is a pamphlet - poisonous, funny and sad, where even parodic moments contain a lot of truth that is not at all parodic.
