Autobahn

It is the summer of 1989 and a car is motoring down the autobahns from Norway to Austria. Inside the car are an eight-year-old boy and his family. Through the car window the boy catches sight of a trailer full of pigs on their way to the slaughterhouse, and he is shocked by the sight.

The memories from the autobahn continue to haunt the protagonist through adulthood. Although he hopes that he can come to terms with the past and the world he is doomed to live in, as a protest - and in despair that everything could have been different - he goes on a mental journey to save what he can before it is too late.

Autobahn is an exciting, unusually intense novel with a very individual narrator’s voice.
