Media Reviews
“It’s the collaboration and tension between the reader and Woyzeck, rather than the attempts to find more profound motives, that makes this reading experience so strong.” * Svenska Dagbladet *
“A sharp and hypersensitive novel about abandonment and violence. It’s a fantastic, spellbinding, and terrifying book.” * Dagens Nyheter *
“This is fiction of true moral force, brilliantly sustained and achieved.” -- Hilary Mantel * (on The Emperor of Lies) *
“Cogent and affecting . . . In Mr. Sem-Sandberg’s fine novel, the tragedy is real but much more specific and conditional. It gives us, the readers, just enough of a loophole to evade its reckonings.” * Wall Street Journal *
