Fredrik Sjöberg collects hoverflies on the island of Runmarö, in the archipelago east of Stockholm. He is also a literary critic, translator, cultural columnist and the author of several books, including The Fly Trap and The Raisin King, which form a trilogy with The Art of Flight.Digressive, discursive and delightful.
- Michael Kerr, Telegraph
<p>A joy . . . Fredrik Sjöberg's best-selling memoir <i>The Fly Trap</i> marked him as a maestro of the episodic. Here, he<br />completes a trilogy.</p>
Nature
By his own admission Sjöberg has a "butterfly mind"; the effect of his narrative excursions amounts to a sort of Sebald-lite, albeit without the fictional element. What insures this approach against triviality is the author's patient alertness to pattern, to telling correspondence.
- Nat Segnit, Times Literary Supplement
<p>Delightful, at once informative and often humorously digressive . . . a humane man of wide-ranging curiosity, Sjöberg writes with infectious passion.</p>
