Description: URWIND by Bo Carpelan Finnish-Swedish author Carcanet Press Click images to enlarge Description URWIND by Bo Carpelan Pub. Carcanet, 1996 (Carcanet Fiction series) First edition. Softback 189 pages, English text. In Urwind, on the face of it a simple tale of a Helsinki antiquarian bookseller whose wife has abandoned him, there is a complex layering of experience, past and present. The telling is more a matter of inner than outer events - intimate, rapt. In the "ur-vind", or primordial attic, are stored not only relics from the story-teller's past, but also memories of the neighbours, friends and relations who inhabited the apartment house in which he was brought up. The "ur-vind" is also the cosmic wind, blowing from beyond the reassuring walls of houses and apartments. And it is the story-teller's name Daniel Urwind, in whom is focused a wealth of literary and artistic allusions and antecedents that include the Merz-Bau of Kurt Schwitters, the paintings of Cezanne and the fiction of Kafka. Baron Bo Gustaf Bertelsson Carpelan (1926 – 2011) was a Finland-Swedish poet and author. Very good condition. Small stain to bottom edge as shown. Images sell!
