This is a brilliant book, formidably intelligent in its control of complex material yet shining with humanity, and with the old Swedish belief that we all deserve a just, yet kind society' - Independent on Sunday Zusammenfassung 'Fishing in Utopia [winner of the 2009 Orwell Prize] is a lament for a lost Eden.
