Spanning an intense period of only a few weeks, In the Wake features 43 year-old Arvid, a writer who lost his parents and younger brothers in a ferry accident some years before. It is especially ag ainst his repressed memories--of his father and mother, and of his still-living brother--that Arvid must regard and define his own life.As Arvid struggle s with memories, existential questions, and a deep sense of the world's injustic e, he remains overwhelmed by grief, and guilt at having survived. Work on his no vel stalls as he moves through life in a cold haze. But while Arvid's only human contact is with his Kurdish neighbor and with a woman whom he glimpses in a fla t across the road, it is this routine contact that begins to slowly remind him o f the world---of the beauty and humor we can find in the mundane.
