Fredrik Sjoeberg's Swedish bestseller about summer, islands,
freedom and boundaries. 'The light, the warmth, the smells, the
mist, the birdsong - the moths. Who can sleep? Who wants to?'
Fredrik Sjoeberg finds happiness in the little things. Millions of
them, in fact. This beguiling bestseller is his unique meditation
on collecting hoverflies. It is also about living on a remote
Swedish island, blissful long summer nights, lost loves, unexpected
treasures, art, nature, slowness, and how freedom can come from the
things we least expect. 'Full of charm, a book about how to find
meaning in life' Melissa Harrison, The Times, Books of the Year 'I
often return to The Fly Trap, it remains close to my heart. The
minute observations from nature that reveal sudden insights into
one's life. Sometimes I almost think that he wrote it for me' Tomas
Transtroemer, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 'Charming,
witty and original' Patrick Barkham, Guardian 'Nature writing that
can laugh at itself, a real tonic' Gregory Day, Sydney Morning
Herald 'Delightful, at once informative and often humorously
digressive . . . a humane man of wide-ranging curiosity, Sjoeberg
writes with infectious passion' Paul Binding Independent Fredrik
Sjoeberg collects hoverflies on the island Runmaroe, in the
archipelago east of Stockholm. He is also a literary critic,
translator, cultural columnist and the author of several books
including The Art of Flight and The Raisin King, which form a
trilogy with The Fly Trap.
