Klas Ã–stergren,Tiina Nunnally
Beaten up, bruised, and scared, a young writer hides in a Stockholm apartment, writing the story of its disappeared inhabitants: the flamboyant and charismatic Morgan brothers.,It all began a year earlier, when he was rooming with Henry Morgan, a boxer, piano player, composer, bartender, and old-fashioned gentleman with a Gatsby-like capacity for turning life into a feast and absolutely no talent for keeping secrets. ,The two friends led the high-life in Stockholm until the day Henryâ€™s younger brother Leo â€“ a star poet, drunk, political provocateur â€“ showed up. Leo drags them into a scandal involving illegal weapons and gangsters, and soon the three men find themselves unwittingly and irreversibly trapped in a dangerous plot.,Written with an intense regard for storytelling and style, ,Gentlemen, is the most important literary work to emerge from Sweden in the past thirty years â€“ simultaneously celebrating and mourning the post-WWII era with its jazz music, poetry, hidden treasures, and espionage.
