Ross Shideler offers an in-depth introduction to the works of Per
Olov Enquist and discusses the writer's central themes and the
imagery and motifs he uses to develop them. This in-depth study
begins with a brief introduction to the social and literary
backgrounds that are the foundations for Enquist's writing. His
work is presented in chronological fashion beginning with his early
psychological novels written in the tradition of the French nouveau
roman and proceeding to his highly regarded documentary novels and
popular plays. Shideler traces Enquist's fascination with modern
man's isolation and his attempt to find connections in history to
explain the dilemma. Other psychological, social, and political
themes are examined and analyzed in this first critical study
concentrating entirely on Enquist's work.
