Coetzee, W.G. Sebald, and Uwe Timm." "Quiet but compelling." "Haunting, minimalist prose and expert pacing give this quiet story from Norway...an undeniably authoritative presence." (starred review) "[OUT STEALING HORSES] is muted and contemplative, suffused with autumnal tones, and infinitely sad....It burns palely, and although it is not perhaps the instant classic that many admirers have claimed it to be, it is a subtle, richly wrought, and tough-minded novel, one that Knut Hamsun himself would not have spurned....For all his grievous theme, Per Petterson's is a bright voice out of a dark place." Publisher's noteAfter a meeting with his only neighbor, sixty-seven-year-old Trond is forced to reflect upon a long-ago incident that marks the beginning of a series of losses for Trond and his childhood friend, Jon. Reprint. 50,000 first printing. AnnotationAfter the death of his wife, a 70-year-old Norwegian man, Trond, returns to an icy cabin in the east of Norway, where he spent his childhood. When he meets his reclusive neighbor, Lars, Trond suddenly remembers a teenage adventure when his friend Jon invited him to steal a horse and go riding in the early morning. Shortly after that Jon disappeared and it was discovered that he had accidentally killed his twin brother, Odd. Lars, it turns out, was Jon and Odd's third brother. As winter approaches, the two old men, Trond and Lars, travel back into their traumatic past, and learn haunting truths about themselves and about their parents' dark secrets.
