<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in German in 1967 by Fischer Bèucherei"--Title page verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Tynset</i> takes place during a sleepless night, but as the work unfolds it becomes apparent that the circumstances of the immediate present serve merely as points of departure. Plagued by incessant rumination, the narrator's restless mind spins thread after thread of thought, fantasy, and memory into an elaborate tapestry spanning centuries and covering thousands of miles--all without the narrator ever leaving his house. Hildesheimer famously refused to describe <i>Tynset</i> as a novel; instead, he chose to think of the work as an extended monologue whose structure derives from the musical rondo form, with the recurrence of the titular Norwegian town functioning as a refrain.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An opaquely powerful work about obsession, delusion, repression, and guilt." -<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, Starred Review</b><br>
