The Norwegian novelist's latest, 'Men in My Situation,' has its share of male myopia but transcends when it encompasses universal conditions.
With the death of his parents in a ferryboat fire, Norwegian author Per Petterson is consumed with the notion of family.
But for every instance of Arvid deliberately weaponizing his trauma, there are numerous others when he doesn’t know why he’s doing the things he does. He is alienated from himself, even physically — he doesn’t recognize his own body. He struggles too to understand others, including women, whose signals he seems doomed to misinterpret, and his daughters, from whom he maintains a sad distance. Eventually, they ask for real distance, and Arvid is hurt, but the reader hardly blames the girls.
