A man and a woman in a quiet, remote house, an old man on a park bench, an estranged brother in a railway cafeÌ -- Kjell Askildsen's characters are surrounded by absence. Filled with disquiet, and longing, they walk to a fjord, they smoke, they drink on a veranda, they listen to conversations that drift through open windows. Small flashes like the promise of a sunhat, a nail in a cherry tree, or a raised flag, reveal the interminable space between desire and reality in which Askildsen's characters are forever suspended. Widely recognized as one of the greatest modern short-story writers, with unadorned prose and a dark humor, Askildsen captures life as it really is, the worlds of his characters uncanny mirrors of our own"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Thirty-seven short stories. 500 $a First published as Alt som før by Forlaget Oktober. 546 $a In English translated from the Norwegian. 505 0 $a A bucket of time -- A lovely spot -- A sudden liberating thought -- Encounter -- Everything like before -- I'm not like this, I'm not like this -- Mardon's night -- Midsummer -- The dogs of Thessaloniki -- Sunhat -- The grasshopper -- The joker -- The nail in the cherry tree -- The other dream -- After the funeral service -- Georg -- Gerhard P -- Gustav Herre -- Konrad T -- Marion -- The cost of friendship -- The toilet bag -- Nothing for nothing -- The wake -- An uplifting funeral -- Thomas F's final notes to the public -- Carl Lange -- Chess -- Carl -- My goodness -- CafeÌ-goers -- Maria -- Mrs. M -- The banister -- The disturbance -- At the barber's -- Thomas. 600 10 $a Askildsen, Kjell, $d 1929- $v Translations into English. 600 17 $a Askildsen, Kjell, $d 1929- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00350776 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Askildsen, Kjell, 1929- $t Everything like before $d Brooklyn : Archipelago Books, 2021. $z 9781939810953 $w (DLC) 2020026812 700 1 $a Kinsella, SeaÌn $c (Translator), $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031835.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220428010246.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B685E8C0A5B811ECBC4A196C2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
