Quotes | Ixander at Metasoxl
. Listed among the year's best (2003) by Dagens Nyheter -
the leading Swedish daily.
. One of the precious few first novels which
actually live up to the classical ideal of a literature 'written for
everyone and no one'.
. With a style both curtly matter of fact and
movingly poetic, both barren and excessive, he impresses upon the story an
archaic mark. The metaphors are at times awesomely expansive.
. What first comes across as a strange
pastiche [] grows to a critical parable in which the unconquerable island
Metasoxl
seems to promise all that worldy power desires but is destined never
to attain.
