Embarrassment and Dignity
Dag Solstad, who is considered one of the greatest living writers of Northern Europe, is in Turkish for the first time.
He is in his fifties. It's an ordinary day for literature teacher Elias Rukla: As he has been doing for years, he begins enthusiastically interpreting a work he loves (Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck) to a class full of uninterested high school students. However, a seemingly small event will trigger an unexpected crisis, causing Elias to return to the memory of a friendship that left deep traces in his life, and to question his marriage, himself and the society he lives in.
Embarrassment and Dignity, light in weight. It is one of those special novels that are heavy, stay in the mind with their language and atmosphere, and that readers will want to return to again and again.
“A completely hypnotic, completely humane writer.”
- James Wood, New Yorker -
“Solstad's language sparkles with a new elegance that seems old and emits a distinctive sparkle that is inimitable, full of energy.”
- Karl Ove Knausgaard -
