In shadowy Stockholm bars and apartments, a charismatic artist tracks down the cast and producers of a failed fantasy film. She seduces the “Sorrowful Prince," lets the tech-savvy “Dwarf” bore her on the subject of linguistics, and muses on the "Witch Master's" grisly fate. Her casually acerbic account of her interviews rambles over the tropes of genre literature and the problems of modern society: greed, narcissism, corruption. Fantasy is a sexy, troubling glimpse into the vacuum created when a fantasy collapses.

Malte Persson, born 1976 in Gothenburg, Sweden, is among the most significant authors of his generation. He works as an author, critic, and translator. His debut novel, Life on This Planet, appeared in 2002. His second novel, Edelcrantz, was nominated for the prestigious August Prize. He has published three volumes of poetry, including the critically acclaimed Underworld, a sonnet cycle about the Stockholm subway. He has won a number of awards, both for his work as an author and as a critic, including the Gothenburg Post's 2011 prize for literature, whose jury praised him for “authorship that demonstrates the playfulness of a trickster, and elegant craftsmanship that reveals new worlds between earth, moon, and underworld.” His most recent work is the children's book The Journey to the World's Most Dangerous Country. After living for many years in Stockholm, Persson now makes his home in Berlin.

Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. Artikel-Nr. SBAB-SBL-028572
