Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

4.0

I don't know how I missed this author up to now but their mastery is jaw-dropping. This is a short read with tons of plot, but unlike a lot of plot-heavy stories, it's also full of beautiful language and emotional resonance. I obviously read a translation but can only assume it's a wonderful marriage between translator and text. Coming of age, and late in life ruminating, at its finest. It is worth noting that this is a very male-centric story and it contains many long wandering sentences, which I love.
