Wedding Worries

In Dagerman's last novel, by many considered his best, he returns to the setting and the people of his childhood farm. The novel takes place during the day, and night, when the young daughter on the farm marries the considerably older village butcher. In a burlesque and often comical style, reminiscent of Faulkner, Dagerman explores the eternal themes of existential loneliness and a longing for connection through the many characters. It is also here that he, for himself, stakes out a different path toward inner freedom.

In ultimul roman al lui Dagerman, de multi considerat cel mai bun al sau, se intoarce la decor si la oamenii din ferma copilariei sale. Romanul are loc in timpul zilei si al noptii, cand tanara fiica de la ferma se casatoreste cu macelarul satului considerabil mai in varsta.
