Purity

**2021 Nordic Council Literature Prize Finalist**The stories in Purity take the reader through cities and suburbs, apartments and streets, to find characters struggling to survive in modern society: a man has an outburst on a bus; a fugitive finds insight in a colour wheel; a social realist kills his friend with a hammer; a thief finds himself in books. And cleaners reluctantly go on cleaning.With gravity and humor, against the backdrop of a violent civilisation, people are depicted as fallen, or waiting to fall, rendered by Tich with the fury, compassion and emotional complexity of Kendrick Lamar.

Ideal for readers interested in general fiction.
