Out
Stealing Horses By Petterson, Per
Out Stealing Horses is an intensely lyrical and evocative novel that handles
with a deft and seemingly effortless prose style the transition of the past into
memory, and its shifting, unpredictable persistence. Alongside the solitary self
searching of (the narrator) Trond, we encounter a man who, having tragically lost
those dear to him, has also lost interest in talking to people, only
to discover that, quite literally on his doorstep, the past reappears and speaks
directly back to him. | |
