Book
A fairy tale / Jonas T. Bengtsson ; translated from the Danish by Charlotte Barslund.
A young boy grows up on the run with a loving father who has little respect for the law, and the boy is often distraught to leave behind new friendships. His anarchistic father gives him an unconventional home school education intended to contradict as much as possible the teachings of his own father, a preacher and a pervert. Ten years later, entering adulthood with a fake name and a monotonous job, he tries to conform to the demands of ordinary life, but the lessons of the past thwart his efforts, and questions about his father's childhood cannot be left unanswered.
