4.0

En tiedä, voiko historiallinen proosa olla naturalismia, mutta mitä muutakaan näin inhorealistinen teos voisi olla. Natt och Dagin tapa kuvailla saa kirjoitetussakin muodossa mudan ja mädän haisemaan, veren ja rään vuotamaan ja sääty-yhteiskunnan näyttämään elintavalta, jonka julmuuteen eivät eläimet pysty. Ennen ei enimmäkseen ollut paremmin, ainakaan Ruotsissa.
