“Revealing and forthright. . . . A powerful, well-wrought novel.”

Complete Review

“Espedal’s writing is wonderfully descriptive, flowing freely from one sentence into another. Such a style is fitting for a novel that seems to glide between thoughts as it questions whether society is natural and what should be done about it. Drawing particular attention to themes of work and love, Espedal’s book invites readers to ponder what is natural in life.”<br />

World Literature Today

“Anderson is an incredible translator. The language is crisp and lucid, with passages that beg to be reread and underlined and read aloud. . . . Gorgeous, profound and exquisitely translated, <i>Against Nature</i> has made me an Espedal devotee and I will seek every book that carries his name.”
