Is the main character in this novel named Fredrik or Bjørn? Is he a country boy with a priest for a father, or did he grow up in a suburb with a father who’s now a retired construction worker? This book centres around issues of identity and delves deeply into the recognition of the postmodern subject’s fragmentation and loneliness.
