Aristoteles Kalk, a Norwegian teacher, leaves his old life after a violent incident at school and the collapse of his marriage. He takes a job as caretaker at a disused herring-oil factory, hoping at last to finish his novel, but instead finds himself caught up in a criminal mystery. Jon O. Lorentzen’s second novel follows a winding journey from a small Norwegian coastal town to the Hebrides and Cuba. Its story explores dreams, art, recognition, originality and identity, with Shakespeare, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Richard Brautigan among its points of reference.
