The second volume in Stig Sæterbakken’s loosely connected “S Trilogy,” Self-Control moves from the dark portrait of codependent marriage featured in the acclaimed Siamese to a world of solitary loneliness and repression.A middle-aged man, Andreas Feldt, feeling that he is unable to communicate with his adult daughter over the course of lunch, announces on an inexplicable whim that he is going to get a divorce. This impulsive lie does not only destroy Andreas’ conversation with his daughter, but also puts doubt in his own mind about his own existence, shaped by routine and the people around him. Faced with this virtual invisibility—no matter what actions he takes, the world seems to take no notice—Andreas is cut adrift from the certainties of his life and forced to navigate through a society where it seems everyone is only one loss of self-control away from an explosion of dissatisfaction and rage.What follows is the awakening of a glaring suspicion of reality within our narrator’s psyche, as if he has a blind spot somewhere in his memory. Is there something he has forgotten, something he does not want to, or is not capable of remembering?

Den utbrände polisinspektören Wold får i upp drag att avrunda det fåfänga sökandet efter en försvunnen 14-årig flicka. Han dras in i en förbjuden kärleksrelation med hennes mamma. Deras väg kantas av förtvivlad njutning och förräderiets nödvändighet. Den norske demonförfattaren Stig Sæterbakkens hyllade roman utspelas i ett regnigt Oslo med anstrykning av 40-tals-noir. Samtidigt som han ledsagar läsaren ner i den kolsvarta underjorden skildrar han tillvarons absurda komik och en omöjlig kärleks smärtsamma ömhet. Som vanligt ställs moraliska frågor på sin spets och drivs till gränsen för det uthärdliga.

A brutally comic portrait of marriage, taken to extremes reminiscent of the work of Samuel Beckett and Thomas Bernhard.
Edwin Mortens is almost blind, but has good hearing; his wife Erna is hard of hearing, but can see perfectly. Edwin sits locked in his bathroom all day, every day, trying to liberate his mind from his body. The experiment is going relatively well: nearly all his bodily functions have ceased, his limbs are in a state of decay, and his digestive system is in the process of breaking down. "This body," he says, "is a sewer."

To pass the time, Edwin dedicates his days to chewing gum and screaming at his wife, on whom he is, nonetheless, entirely dependent; meanwhile, Erna''s life, despite Edwin''s constant abuse, revolves around her hideous husband. Edwin and Erna live in a state of perfect equilibrium—fueled by habit, cruelty, humiliation, and quite possibly love—until their building''s young superintendent is called to replace a lightbulb in Edwin''s bathroom, and the "Siamese twins" find themselves embroiled in a new and vicious struggle for power.

"Lämna mig inte växer till en svartsjukans brinnande epistel där den deformerade själens grundliga djupdykning i självömkan och svartsjuka är iscensatt på det mest infernaliska vis." Benny Holmberg, Tidningen Kulturen Lämna mig inte är en roman som närmar sig formfulländning. Med elegans och lätthet serveras en komplex historia: om existentiell ensamhet och isolering, inre raseri och mörker. Maya Djuve Troberg, Dagbladet Så om du i likhet med Bertolt Brecht menar att detta att tala om framtiden utan hopp i rösten är en sorts ondska, eller om du vill vila i en ljus, poetisk himmel som välver sig över ett försvinnande inferno, då bör du undvika Lämna mig inte. Men söker du en författare som med beska, intensiva, nakna ord vågar närma sig tillvarons oupphörliga smärta, mänskliga svek och dårskaper, det kroppsliga begäret som överskrider alla rimlighetens gränser, det svartsjukestyrda helvetet som slukar en vacker dröm, då bör Stig Sæterbakkens senaste roman vara ditt val. Steinar Sivertsen, Stavanger Aftenblad ... när det handlar om att träffa hårt där det gör ont länge, är den rena fiktionen i Lämna mig inte höstens vinnare. Olav Østrem, Klassekampen Sæterbakkens författarskap är långt, ja det fyller 25 år as we speak, och allt vi kan hoppas på är att han fortsätter att skriva den ena djävulska och djävulskt välskrivna romanen efter den andra.

Stig Sæterbakkens Genom natten leder dig på en sorglig och kuslig vandring. Dess grepp är ömsint och grymt, men du kommer inte att vilja stanna upp och vända åter trots att din blick hotar att förtäras av vad du kommer att få se. Karl Meyer har mist sin son. Sörjande flyr han sitt förrödda äktenskap genom ett svartnande Europa. Hans mål är ett nedgånget hus i en slovakisk by där den som inträder konfronteras med sin största skräck. Den kusliga Genom natten (2011) blev Stig Sæterbakkens (1966-2012) sista roman. Genom denna starkt suggestiva berättelse får vi återigen ta del av ett av samtidens nödvändigaste författarskap. För Genom natten fick Sæterbakken postumt ta emot både P2-lytternas romanpris och Ungdomens kritikerpris I svensk press har boken hyllats, och förstaupplagan sålde hösten 2012 slut men har nu tryckts om. Ett urval pressröster om Genom natten: När han är som bäst är han oslagbar. Betyg 5/5 . (Magnus Utvik, Gomorron Sverige, SVT) Trots rätt maffig konkurrens är nog Stig Sæterbakkens författarskap det mörkaste som Skandinavien någonsin frambringat. Det är en litteratur som åstadkommer saker med läsaren - på allvar. (Jan Arnald, Dagens Nyheter) När Sæterbakken gräver i den mänskliga naturen, gräver han djupt. Här finns ett mörker och ett allvar, en närmast förkrossande tyngd som får merparten av den skandinaviska samtidsprosan att framstå som ytligt tingeltangel. (Fabian Fastner, Svenska Dagbladet) Jag läser en bok och jag darrar. Det är inte så många gånger som detta händer men när det händer är detta ett bra omen. Det betyder att det jag läser är värt något. Ofta darrar jag av glädje eller av lidelse, ty det som jag läser kastar mig utanför det vardagliga livet och tillåter mig en tillfällig trance. (Guido Zeccola, Tidningen Kulturen) Det här är en bok att läsa intensivt och bära med sig länge efteråt. Trösten blir att ensamheten, paradoxalt nog, är något vi alla delar. Karl Ove Knausgård är inte Norges största författare i vår tid. Stig Sæterbakken är större. (Lina Arvidsson, Dagensbok.com) För hur ska jag kunna göra den rättvisa? Mer än att be er att läsa den? (Jessica Björkäng, Bokhora.se) Vertigo förlag har tidigare gett ut hans romaner Siamesisk, Sauermugg redux, Osynliga händer och Lämna mig inte i svensk översättning. Översättaren Niklas Darke (född 1967) har skrivit Willies kök och Kanintricket och tidigare översatt Stig Sæterbakkens Sauermugg redux, Osynliga händer och Lämna mig inte.
