Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

4.0

It was so melancholy; a man reflecting on a summer with his father as a youth while contemplating his own mortality towards the end of life. It read a bit staccato for me, although I can't say if it is due to the translation or the style of the author. It does have one of the most beautiful phrases I have read in a long time: "A shipwrecked man without an anchor in the world except in his own liquid thoughts where time has lost its sequence."
