Description - The Wandering Pine: Life as a Novel by Per Olov Enquist

The Wandering Pine starts off in a little green house in the Vasterbotten province of northern Sweden. It ends with Enquist's return, both to writing and to another kind of life, after several despondent years. The pages in between describe -with humour, warmth and endless wonderment -his rise, his fall and his redemptive resurgence.

Enquist spends much of his adult life travelling and living abroad -Berlin, New York, Paris, Copenhagen. But the success that has skyrocketed him to fame as a Swedish author and world-renowned playwright tears him apart inside.

He walks around in an impenetrable fog, barely able write a letter, much less a novel. He dashes from one form of escape, one well-intentioned hell, to the next. Finally he finds his way back, to writing and to life.
