He strikes up a deep friendship with another exiled Norwegian a Nietzschean intellectual and boxing fanatic named Geir. He also tracks down Linda whom he met at a writers' workshop a few years earlier and who fascinated him deeply.Book Two is at heart a love storythe story of Karl Ove falling in love with his wife. But the novel also tells other stories: of becoming a father of the turbulence of family life of outrageously unsuccessful attempts at a family vacation of the emotional strain of birthday parties for children and of the daily frustrations rhythms and distractions of Stockholm keeping him from (and filling) his novel.
