Naughty boys. Dirty secrets. Mad dogs. In the Eriksson family, childhood is a disturbing experience, full of crude and disturbing rites of passage. It all started with Askild ‘the Silent Crackpot’: painter, murderer and thief. His son, Niels ‘Jug Ears’ Junior, is born in an outhouse, wins respect by kicking other boys in the balls, and uses dynamite to blow up the privy when his father sells his cherished coin collection. And his son, Asger ‘the Liar’, collects stories about his shipwrecked family which are always exciting, though not entirely true. Unable to banish Doghead, a horror from his childhood, he reveals the very bad deeds children can do – pushing his family forward, past a point of no return. Doghead is a richly imaginative farcical tragedy, a witty saga of three generations of wild Eriksson men. 'A huge international success...combines rambunctiousness, salty humour and poetic imagination.' Independent on Sunday
