The Seducer

(The first book in the Jonas Wergeland series)
(2003)
A novel by

Jan Kjærstad

"An enormously accomplished and compelling novel."
Paul Auster


 

Jonas Wergeland, a successful TV documentary producer with a touch of God's gift to women, returns one evening for the World's Fair in Seville to find his wife dead on the living room floor. What follows is a quest to find the killer, encompassing by turns a picaresque and endlessly inventive look at the conditions that have brought Wergeland to this critical juncture in life. From his hair's breadth escape form a ravenous polar bear while filming in Greenland to a near-death experience aboard a passenger ferry in the icy Baltic, the Tom Jones-like experiences that comprise the narrative of Wergeland's life, relayed in Kjaerstad's veneered and acutely observant prose, provide a fascinating portrait of a media icon at the crux of his journey as an artist.
