The story in this book is absurd but unremarkable, and the plot seems to be non-existent. It mainly tells a series of major events that happened in a small coastal town in Norway. With the arrival of the maverick misanthrope and agriculturist Najir, cracks appear in the finely woven social relations of this coastal town. With a slightly cold and sensitive insight into human nature, Najir touches the "mimosa-like" sensitive zone deep in the human heart. He uses his absurd words and deeds to reflect the dark nature and repressed desires of these small town residents. Every small town character seems to be a metaphor for a type of people in reality. These people are not terribly wrong but insensitive. They have problems of one kind or another and are difficult to redeem. Therefore, this visitor from the sea had to live in a state of not being understood and trapped. After being frustrated in love and being looked down upon by society, he became insane and jumped into the sea without missing a trace.
Reader comments
Although Nagel's behavior in the book is absurd, his insight into human nature is profound. His experience also made me feel that sometimes we can't just look at the surface, but have to understand other people's hearts. This book is like a mirror that makes me reflect on myself and the people around me. I recommend you take a look, you will definitely gain a lot!
