'Midsummer Days and other tales' August Strinberg


Recommended Posts

Given the time these were written, they are ahead of their time. Strindberg wrote in a modernist style, with great effect. Each story is self contained, with an often open end. the themes of reality versus unreality, life versus death, youth and age are strongly represented.

 

If I have to select a favourite it would be the 'Pilot's Troubles': the sheer scope and the unexpected ending are a joy.
