Produktinformationen "A Tiler's Afternoon"
One grey November morning a friend rang Torsten Bergman and told him of a job on a house-conversion. Torsten arrived at the empty house in his decrepit car and got to work retiling the bathroom the tiles were there already while he waited for someone to turn up and make it all official. So begins this story of one day in an old man's life: a day of work of day-dreaming of memories of chance encounters (for men and women not to mention children burst in on his solitary tiling). And as he put away his tools that evening there came also a discovery that might after all hold a clue to the elusive Meaning of Life. In A Tiler's Afternoon Lars Gustafsson has written an enchanting tale full of insight wisdom and gentle irony sensitively conveyed in the childlike simplicity of its telling as the tiler's life-story is gradually filled in from his memories. Here is a book that in short compass embraces a whole rich microcosm.
