Gregorius (2007) – Bengt Ohlsson
Translated edition from Portobello Books Ltd | ISBN: 9781846270161
Condition: Good (morally dubious, physically fine)
Offered with faint theological concern by: Crappy Old Books


Here we have Gregorius: the novel in which Bengt Ohlsson takes one of Swedish literature’s least popular clergymen and politely asks, “But what if he’s not just a villain—what if he’s a person?” Then he spends the entire book proving that being a person is, frankly, much more complicated than being a simple bad guy.

If you’ve met Pastor Gregorius before (as the repulsive old man in someone else’s story), this is his chance to step into the spotlight, straighten his dog collar, and plead his case. If you haven’t, don’t worry: all you need to know is that you’re about to enter the head of a man who is:

London: Portobello, 2008. 1st thus. p/b. Fine, as new.. B (198 x 129). Ageing and unattractive, the widowed Pastor Gregorius seems to have been granted a second chance at happiness when Helga, the young girl he has been fascinated by since her childhood, accepts his offer of marriage. Yet before long, the relationship turns sour and brutal and Gregorius suspects that his wife's distaste for him has driven her to infidelity. To Gregorius, fretful about his failing health and brooding on mortality, the emptiness of his marriage is the final, bitter proof that he is unlovable, except in the eyes of God. And then an unexpected encounter with a woman who is able to return his affection makes it seem as though another kind of life might be possible. Gregorius is a compelling portrait of one man's loneliness and longing, and a mesmerizing study of the desires that bring people together and the fears that keep them apart.
