Sulle tracce di un pittore di acquarelli svedese (Gunnar Widforss) molto conosciuto e apprezzato negli Stati Uniti agli inizi del ‘900 come autore di dipinti di bellezze naturali. Scritto da un intrattenitore garbato si legge piacevolmente, ma l’artista e la sua storia sono alquanto irrilevanti. Bisogna essere Sebald per riuscire a dare profondità anche ad argomenti apparentemente banali altrimenti si veleggia nel nulla o quasi. I read the German translation, and I can't help feeling that this is one book that probably needs to be read in the original. Partly for cultural reasons. There are many Swedish references that just don't mean anything to me, but probably would make sense to anyone who had either grown up in Sweden or spent the time later in life to learn the language. If you don't believe me check the ratings. Those with the book in Swedish average over 4. Those reading in other languages average under 3. On the other hand, many of the trivial facts that I checked had nothing to do with Sweden. I'm not really sure whether this is meant to be a biography of Widforss at all. Or even the story of trying to research such a biography, although each takes up a significant amount of space. I will admit to having Googled several of the names mentioned to check whether I should be reading this as fiction, but everything I checked was right. Another advantage to Google: I find it hard to read descriptions of painting after painting without looking at at least a few of them. Not even the cover is a painting by Widforss. A strange book.
Fredrik Sjöberg använder Widforss som ett redskap att tränga in i sina egna flyktförsök - också från det självpåtagna uppdraget att skriva en bok och snoka i en främmande människas efterlämnade papper. Est contenu dansPrix et récompenses

Gunnar Widforss:
“Vorrei essere un selvaggio e non avere mai visto un quadro, forse allora potrei cogliere meglio, o più correttamente, i colori.
