Twilight Country (International Authors Series)

By Knut Faldbakken

Knut Faldbakken is one of Norway's leading contemporary writers, and his novels have been published in fourteen countries. Twilight Country is the stark portrayal of a civilization in decline, a civilization with unnerving similarities to our own. When life in the stagnant and polluted city of Sweetwater becomes unbearable, its citizens desert it one by one to take refuge on the Dump, the repository of the city's unwanted surplus. Here they find freedom from the city's bureaucratic tyranny and filth as well as the material goods they depend on for survival. Twilight Country depicts the struggles of individuals who learn to cooperate, creating a new society from the detritus of the old.
