This postmodernist Norwegian novel, an international bestseller and winner of Scandinavia's top literary award, will have readers on the edge of their seats, as Jan Kjærstad waves his magic adventure wand and seduces all. Protagonist Jonas Wargerand is a successful TV documentary producer and also something of God's gift to women.
