To kill the novel is to save the novel. Daniel Sjölin does it in a sly manner staking his own public persona in the process. He performs as an alcoholic media-psychopath in a linguistic roundabout where reality is duplicated and disguised. The World’s last Novel, is a cosmic and unforgiving settling of accounts with the narcissism of our time, our life clichés and our inability to step outside ourselves. As in his previous praised novels, Daniel Sjölin plays a clever cat-and-mouse game with his readers. The last novel in the world is a real masterpiece, and demonstrates Daniel Sjölin’s strong position as one of the freshest new voices to emerge in Scandinavian literature during the past decade.
