Self-Control (Norwegian Literature)

Self-Control (Norwegian Literature)

The second volume in Stig SÃ¦terbakkenâ€™s loosely connected â€œS Trilogy,â€ Self-Control moves from the dark portrait of codependent marriage featured in the acclaimed Siamese to a world of solitary loneliness and repression. A middle-aged man, Andreas Feldt, feeling that he is unable to communicate with his adult daughter over the course of a friendly lunch, announces on an inexplicable whim that he is going to get a divorce. Though his daughter is initially shocked, she quickly assimilates this information and all returns to normal. Faced with this virtual invisibilityâ€•for no matter what actions he takes, the world seems to take no noticeâ€•Andreas is cut adrift from the certainties of his life and forced to navigate through a society where it seems virtually everyone is only one loss of self-control away from an explosion of dissatisfaction and rage.
