Description

An intoxicatingly strange, prize-winning Finnish novel about the disruption that follows when a man welcomes a peculiar troll into his life

__________

'Chillingly seductive' Independent

'Blame global warming, but trolls are moving out of legend to scavage at the outskirts of Finnish cities... Sinisalo's strange and erotic tales peer at the crooked world through a peephole. The troll comes to life after hours, unleashing glittering desires... Is the troll becoming more human (hurt, jealousy), or does he merely reveal our own trollishness?' Guardian

'An imaginative and engaging novel of urban fantasy... Overlapping narrative voices nicely underscore the moral of Sinisalo's ingeniously constructed fable: The stuff of ancient legend shadows with rather unnerving precision the course of unloosened postmodern desire' Washington Post

__________

Angel, a young photographer, comes home to find a group of drunken teenagers in the courtyard of his apartment building, taunting a wounded, helpless young troll. Wanting to protect what he sees as a helpless creature, he takes it in, blissfully unaware of the chaos that awaits.

As Angel dives into research on his strange new companion, it becomes clear that the troll has a powerful connection to all of humanity's most forbidden feelings - and it begins to make Angel cross boundaries he never imagined he would. Beguilingly original and strange, Troll: A Love Story is an unforgettable story of man's relationship to wild things.
