The Truth about Sascha Knisch

Sanningen om Sascha Knisch
Sascha Knischs sexuella vanor får honom att lämna flickvännen Irma. Sommaren 1928 möter han Dora Wilms som lär honom mer om vem han kan vara. Ett år senare är hon död och Knisch jagas av polisen. I del två i en trilogi om kroppen utforskar Aris Fioretos de estetiska, vetenskapliga och moraliska aspekterna på området mellan ljumskarna. Det är en roman med samma svindlande pendling mellan lätthet och allvar, och med samma språkliga upptäckarglädje som i Irma, 25, som blev en stor kritikerframgång när den kom ut för första gången i Tyskland och Sverige.
Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
