A young geologist hungry for fame journeys to the mountains of
Norway's Arctic north on a research expedition, but soon realizes
he's more likely be eaten alive by mosquitoes than win glory.
Freezing, wet and plagued by insomnia, Alfred becomes increasingly
desperate and paranoid under the midnight sun, until he takes a
catastrophic decision. This dazzlingly dark classic is at once a
gripping survival story, a mordant farce and a peerless evocation
of mental disintegration.
