Onward and Upward

RECENTLY READ - Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

I have always thought that Scandinavian languages translate a bit awkwardly, but this translation of Per Petterson’s work makes the language shimmer. The story of a man trying to unravel his father’s identity through memory is a compelling study on why we remember what we do, especially as children. An excellent read, and absolutely worthy of the praise it has received.
