Undersokningen

Rate this book
Dans un village du nord de la Suède, Erik Olofsson, estimateur de bois et président de la Commission de tempérance, enquête pendant une journée sur le maître d'oeuvre d'une centrale électrique, l'ingénieur Lundgren, que l'on soupçonne d'alcoolisme. Les lecteurs des précédents livres de Sundman retrouveront ici la démarche singulière de ce romancier du Nord et son efficacité surprenante. Par les moyens les plus simples, en des phrases et par des mots réduits eux-mêmes à la simplicité, Sundman parvient à ce résultat que tant d'auteurs de récits poursuivent sans l'atteindre : ne rien simplifier.
