{"product_id":"hunter-in-huskvarna-sara-stridsberg-9781529423266","title":"Hunter in Huskvarna","description":"\"Stridsberg has perfected a kind of contemporary fairy tale with a bracing Scandinavian edge, here elegantly translated by Deborah Bragan-Turner\" Christian House, Financial Times\nA young woman becomes obsessed with her psychoanalyst's daughter. A police officer's mistress clandestinely cares for his dying wife. A boy goes missing from the Swedish town of Huskvarna after he was last seen walking with a wolf. From the inside of a dead whale's belly, to an industrial town emptied out after its factory's closure, to a Texan prison where a young man visits his sister's murderer on death row, Stridsberg approaches both the strange and the mundane with a fairy-tale sensibility that lights our world anew.\nTime runs through this collection like water, variously ebbing, flowing and rippling beneath the shimmering surface of Stridsberg's prose. These genre-spanning stories are held together by a sense of longing: for escape from the narrow margins of a prescribed life, for a past which promises an undiscovered future, for a place or a person that feels like home. \nTranslated from the Swedish by Deborah Bragan-Turner","brand":"Quercus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50137730449696,"sku":"9781529423266","price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781529423266.jpg?v=1781220544","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/hunter-in-huskvarna-sara-stridsberg-9781529423266","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
