Yet this bag holds the clue from which Audun finally intuits that his father, like future Petterson father figures, battled the chronic pain of lost love. ...the novel examines literal and figurative ...fatherhood, exploring alternatives to Audun's charismatic but dangerous dad.

...we don't come upon it until ninety pages into the book, at the end of a dynamic, Hemingway-inspired, three-page paragraph filled with a chain of terrible moments of clarity. Unnamed, I floated ...around looking at the world for the first time and felt it strangely illuminated and glassily beautiful, and then I heard a whinny and the thundering of hooves, and it all came back like a whirring boomerang and hit me on the forehead with a crack, and I thought, shit, I'm paralyzed. Petterson's language brings to mind Hemingway's style during some of his tense and lengthy moments-say, Nick Adams baiting a hook with a grasshopper moments before he reels in his first trout of the day, or Robert Jordan deciding which of the Spanish Guerrilleros he can trust and whether or not to detonate the bombs wired to the fascist-held bridge.
The library's Literature and Language book club was recently reading Out Stealing Horses, a translated novel by Norwegian author Per Petterson, and its newspaper and magazine section is called "World ...Languages."
