<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Doppler has just lost his father. Despite the fact that he has a pregnant wife and two children, he decides to move into the woods. Here he starts a lonely and purposefully boring existence. He has never been so happy. When Doppler kills a she-elk for meat, he can't feel guilty about it, but he does feel a bit guilty about the calf she left behind. When the baby elk adopts him, Doppler is tempted to knock it down as well. But the little elk is wily and escapes death, and gradually they become friends. He names the little elk Bongo--and finds her to be a very good listener.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Doppler] is like a Nordic Obi-Wan." --<i>Big Issue</i><br><br>"A darkly comic fable which makes some astringent points about the way we live today." --<i>Independent</i><br><br>"There's much to enjoy in Loe's dead-pan comedy." --Financial Times<br><br>"With <i>Doppler</i> Erlend Loe has become Norway's most alarming writer." --Dagens Naeringsliv<br><br>"Wonderfully subversive, funny and original." --<i>Observer</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Erlend Loe </b>is a Norwegian novelist.
