"From a fiercely funny Danish John Irving, a bighearted, epic
story of mad dogs, naughty boys, strange relatives, and family
secrets
"An international sensation sold in seventeen countries around the
world, "Doghead" has critics across the globe declaring,
"brilliant," "magnificent," "powerful and engaging." "When I read
it I had to pinch my arm to see if I was dreaming," says
"Weekendavisen" (Denmark). "It was really that good." Morten
Ramsland won Author of the Year and Book of the Year for "Doghead"
in Denmark, and critical comparisons include Gunter Grass, Jonathan
Franzen, Peter Hoeg and Gabriel Garcia Marquez--everyone agrees
that here is a world-class writer.
In "Doghead," Ramsland treats U.S. readers to a highly imaginative,
exuberant saga that follows three generations of a wildly
dysfunctional Norwegian family. The tale" "begins as Asger, the
narrator, visits his dying grandma, who has a few corrections to
make to certain family stories. Asger learns that contrary to
popular belief, Grandpa was not a war hero. Instead, his nickname
was "Crackpot," and both before and after he escaped from a Nazi
concentration camp, he was to put it bluntly, a cheat and a
liar.
From there the "real" family history unfolds, and like all great
stories, it is a tale that will stay with the reader forever.
"Doghead" is certain to win this internationally celebrated author
an equally devoted and enthusiastic following in the U.S.
