a high 3.5!
“He had loved. And he had had an intimation of where love could lead. He had seen a couple of men walk about on the Moon. He had never felt compelled to believe in God, and he wasn’t afraid of death. He couldn’t remember where he had come from, and ultimately he didn’t know where he would go. But he could look back without regret on the time in between, his life, with a full-throttled laugh and utter amazement.”

لا فرق ربما،كما لا فرق بشأن أي شىء آخر في الكون، لكن سيكون هناك برد ينخٌر العظام والروح....

This is a great novel that shines in it's bleakness and simplicity. But more than that, it is beautiful and evocative. It reminded me of John William's Butchers Crossing in the impressive way in which Seethaler also depicts nature almost as a character in his novel.
Made me want to pack up my things and live in the Alps!

En excentrisk stoikers liv, läst under en cafésittning en urban februaridag.
Jämförs med Stoner. Svensk utgåva kommer 15 april på Thorén & Lindskog.
Sägs sakna sentimentalitet, men det håller jag inte riktigt med om. Författaren vill gärna manipulera läsarens känslor. Låt oss återkomma till det när fler läst. Stör mig på det svepande, det allvetande. Har också svårt för det här P3-dokumentäriga "Först tre decennier senare skulle han inse att..." eller andra karaktärers tragiska levnadsöden som käckt nämns i en bisats och gränsar till det m*****a.
