Review:

'One of the contemporary novel's greatest human investigators' Paul Binding, Independent. * Independent * 'A deeply impressive book' Expressen. * Expressen * A riveting objective autobiography -- Peggy Woodford * Church Times * Fascinating . . . Works best when it feels most like a novel - most obviously in its oblique beginning and end -- James Kidd * Independent * The Wandering Pine, rather like Arthur Miller's Timebends, is a fascinating portrait of intellectual life during the twentieth century -- Kate Webb * Times Literary Supplement * Some life. Some novel . . . Wonderful, brave, evocative . . . It is a remarkable story, and Enquist is remarkably frank in narrating every last detail -- Russell Leadbetter * Herald *

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Wandering Pine starts off in a little green house in the Vasterbotten province of northern Sweden. It ends with Enquist's return, both to writing and to another kind of life, after several despondent years. The pages in between describe -with humour, warmth and endless wonderment -his rise, his fall and his redemptive resurgence.Enquist spends much of his adult life travelling and living abroad -Berlin, New York, Paris, Copenhagen. But the success that has skyrocketed him to fame as a Swedish author and world-renowned playwright tears him apart inside.He walks around in an impenetrable fog, barely able write a letter, much less a novel. He dashes from one form of escape, one well-intentioned hell, to the next. Finally he finds his way back, to writing and to life. When everything began so well, how could it turn out so badly? A blisteringly frank autobiographical novel by Sweden's great man of letters - for readers of K. O. Knausgaard's My Struggle.
