Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-18 00:00:00 James Oconnell Tänk att det kan vara så spännande att följa en gammal prästgubbes inre monolog över 400 sidor, men när Bengt Ohlsson skrivit den så är det just det. Jag älskar det här. Jag älskar verkligen inte Gregorius, även om Ohlsson ibland lyckas få mig att känna med honom så tänker jag att han är en sjukligt självupptagen empatistörd mansjävel som tycker synd om sig själv och som dessutom är pedofil. Vill nu läsa om Dr Glas.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-09 00:00:00 Nan Spindler Description: Bengt Ohlsson, one of Sweden's most successful young writers, has responded to the classic Doctor Glas with Gregorius, which is the voice of Pastor Gregorius over the course of what could be his last and fateful summer. Gregorius is a rancorous, malodorous, and unattractive figure married to a girl young enough to be his granddaughter. But his sense of his own mortality, of his personal inadequacy, and his tenuous hold on happiness are uniquely absorbing and haunting. It is a compelling study of loneliness, longing, and the nature of love, the desires that bring people together and the fears that keep them apart.To HelenaPreface by Margaret Atwood Opening: After the evening meal Helga says she's thinking of going for a walk. Meanwhile, Märit's busy clearing the table. I think I can see something change in Märit's tired, yellowish face, like when a blind goes up. It's not long since they moved here, from some hole in Västergötland."
