Long description: This novel is based on the life of Linnaeus, the
eighteenth-century, Swedish enlightenment figure famous for his
taxonomy or scientific classification still used in biology. It
principally concerns the different ways Linnaeus and his gardener
interpret the world around them. The gardener perceives plants for
what they are in themselves and Linnaeus for what they are in
relation to other things. They never understand each other and the
dialogues are wonderfully inconclusive.
