Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
This novel brings us a tale of dark passions, prejudice, and the strange forms that love can take. A celebrated but reclusive author, young but in failing health, Joshua Seigl reluctantly realizes that he can no longer live alone. One day he encounters a young woman with synthetic-looking blond hair and pale, tattooed skin in a bookshop. She stirs something unidentifiable within him. He decides that Alma will be his assistant. An uneasy relationship begins, one which lurches between repulsion and attraction, between hate and love. Seigl is unaware that Alma has been shaped by abuse and misfortune. His kindness is baffling to her; his bookishness completely alien. She secretly harbours anti-Semitic thoughts; he quietly nurses his desire. With terrifying inevitability, their stories wind towards a shocking climax as both Alma and Seigl find themselves struggling to understand what their lives are worth.

Du har vel hørt uttrykket? Ting man ikke vet hvor kommer fra, eller kanskje heller ikke vet hvordan man endte opp med det… Disse bøkene har jeg fått, men reisen deres mellom forlaget og det at et familiemedlem sto med dem i en bærepose på trappa hos meg med andre fingeren på ringeklokka, nei, se det, vet jeg lite om… Altså, "datt av en lastebil", herved forklart.
