Reviews
"A darkly comic fable which makes some astringent points about the way we live today." -- Independent, "Wonderfully subversive, funny and original" -- Observer "Laugh-out-loud, typically distinctive, satirical and hilarious" -- VICE magazine "A darkly comic fable which makes some astringent points about the way we live today" -- Independent "There's much to enjoy in Loe's dead-pan comedy" -- Financial Times "An absurdist, hilariously subversive novel" -- Saga "Funny and a touch dark... [Doppler] is like a Nordic Obi-Wan'" -- Big Issue "It gripped me from the very first page and I read the entire thing in a single day.

He has never been so happy. When Doppler kills a she-elk for meat, he can't feel guilty about it, but he does feel a bit guilty about the calf she left behind. When the baby elk adopts him, Doppler is tempted to knock it down as well. But the little elk is wily and escapes death, and gradually they become friends. He names the little elk Bongo--and finds her to be a very good listener., Doppler has a nice house, a nice wife and a nice job. But Doppler isn't happy.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
