T Singer begins with thirty-four-year-old Singer graduating from
library school and traveling by train from Oslo to the small town
of Notodden, located in the mountainous Telemark region of Norway.
There he plans to begin a deliberately anonymous life as a
librarian. But Singer unexpectedly falls in love with the
ceramicist Merete Saethre, who has a young daughter from a previous
relationship. After a few years together, the couple is on the
verge of separating, when a car accident prompts a dramatic change
in Singer's life. The narrator of the novel specifically states
that this is not a happy story, yet, as in all of Dag Solstad's
works, the prose is marked by an unforgettable combination of humor
and darkness. Overall, T Singer marks a departure more explicitly
existential than any of Solstad's previous works.
