A Story about Mr. Silberstein

Erland Josephson is a prolific Swedish novelist best known as an actor celebrated for his work in Ingmar Bergman's films. A Story about Mr. Silberstein, Josephson's first book to appear in English, shows him to be a master of narrative form and style: inventive, witty, and darkly humorous.

"I am deeply moved by A Story about Mr. Silberstein. This book is of the utmost importance: it reminds us who we are and why we are. You will not forget it." --Liv Ullmann

"Spellbinding. A novel of chilling profundity. A work of genius. A classic." --Leon Rooke, author of Who Goes There
