Anmeldelser
«“It’s the collaboration and tension between the reader and Woyzeck, rather than the attempts to find more profound motives, that makes this reading experience so strong.”»
Svenska Dagbladet
«“A sharp and hypersensitive novel about abandonment and violence. It’s a fantastic, spellbinding, and terrifying book.”»
Dagens Nyheter
«“This is fiction of true moral force, brilliantly sustained and achieved.”»
Hilary Mantel, (on The Emperor of Lies)
«“Cogent and affecting . . . In Mr. Sem-Sandberg’s fine novel, the tragedy is real but much more specific and conditional. It gives us, the readers, just enough of a loophole to evade its reckonings.”»
Wall Street Journal
