Books by August Strindberg

1. August Strindberg, The People of Hemsö .  Hardly anyone (non-Swedish?) reads this classic novel any more, but it holds up as one of the more compelling creations of its time.  Direct and compelling.  Swedish people on an island, but will this marriage work?  Why has it so faded from our attentions?  I’ve long loved Strindberg, so why did it take me until so late in life?
