2000s: A writer pieces together the story of a young man’s death – reminiscent of the hit podcast Serial
A young man called Samuel dies, but was it an accident or suicide? An unnamed writer with an agenda of his own sets out to piece together Samuel’s story. Through conversations with friends, relatives and neighbours, a portrait emerges: the loving grandchild, the reluctant bureaucrat, the loyal friend, the contrived poser. The young man who would do anything for his girlfriend Laide and share everything with his friend Vandad. Until Vandad, marginalised and broke, desperate to get closer to Samuel, drives a wedge between the friends, and Samuel loses them both.
Stockholm
Stockholm is often called the Venice of the North
There is mention of several places in the novel but these are the background to a story of love, loss and more:
“The train was meant to be crossing the Djurgarden bridge instead of sitting at the edge of the road in Solberga, the voice said “Stockholm. Look at her. Isn’t she beautiful?”
In the city, he gets a job as a phone interpreter and is told he will receive different calls wif he works during the day or night. He’s spotted at the Migration Board Building and eats at a Thai stand at Zinkensdam
He has his first call from a case at the Sodra hospital.
