The Room
The Room
Author: Jonas Karlsson
Desc: Funny clever surreal and thought-provoking this Kafkaesque masterpiece introduces the unforgettable Bjorn an exceptionally meticulous office worker striving to live life on his own terms. Bjorn is a compulsive meticulous bureaucrat who discovers a secret room at the government office where he works - a secret room that no one else in his office will acknowledge. When Bjorn is in his room what his co-workers see is him standing by the wall and staring off into space looking dazed relaxed and decidedly creepy. Bjorn's bizarre behavior eventually leads his co-workers to try to have him fired but Bjorn will turn the tables on them with help from his secret room. Debut author Jonas Karlsson doesn't leave a word out of place in this brilliant bizarre delightful take on how far we will go--in a world ruled by conformity - to live an individual and examined life.
