Paperback. Condition: Good. Gregorius (2007) ? Bengt Ohlsson Translated edition from Portobello Books Ltd | ISBN: 9781846270161 Condition: Good (morally dubious, physically fine) Offered with faint theological concern by: Crappy Old Books Here we have Gregorius : the novel in which Bengt Ohlsson takes one of Swedish literature?s least popular clergymen and politely asks, ?But what if he?s not just a villain?what if he?s a person ?? Then he spends the entire book proving that being a person is, frankly, much more complicated than being a simple bad guy. If you?ve met Pastor Gregorius before (as the repulsive old man in someone else?s story), this is his chance to step into the spotlight, straighten his dog collar, and plead his case. If you haven?t, don?t worry: all you need to know is that you?re about to enter the head of a man who is: Deeply pious, Deeply insecure, Deeply awkward about sex, And perhaps not nearly as monstrous?or as innocent?as he?d like to believe. It?s a novel about self-justification, self-delusion, and the strange lengths people go to in order to make their lives feel like they?re happening on purpose. What?s going on inside? Ohlsson lovingly reconstructs a world of: Dark-panelled rooms, church offices, and respectable parlours , where hypocrisy hangs in the air like incense. A pastor who is constantly trying to square his desires, his faith, and his spectacular ability to misunderstand other humans. A marriage that is technically functional in the way a broken clock is technically correct twice a day. Endless inner monologue in which Gregorius explains, excuses, revises and occasionally almost admits the truth to himself, before backing away and blaming circumstances, God, or other people?s weaknesses. This is not a heroic redemption arc. It?s more like watching someone write, edit, and footnote their own confession in real time, desperately trying to make sure they still come out looking sort-of alright. It?s funny in that quietly excruciating way, moving in spite of itself, and ideal if you like novels that make you feel deeply uncomfortable about judging anyone too quickly?especially old men in bad marriages. About this particular copy Condition is Good , which in the antique and mysterious language of second-hand books means: The cover is intact and presentable, with mild edge- or corner-wear suggesting it has been picked up, read, and put down by at least one sentient being. No structural horrors, no major tears?just the soft patina of a book that has seen a few bedside tables. The spine is in sensible working order. It may show one or two reading creases, the literary equivalent of ?I have known things.? The pages are all there (always nice), securely bound, and clean enough that you won?t feel like you?re handling crime-scene evidence. You might see normal, gentle ageing to the paper, but nothing that interferes with your ability to absorb Gregorius?s anguished self-explanations. No savage underlining, no highlighter rampage, no soup stains across the theology. Just a good, honest reading copy of a thoughtful novel about a man trying to justify? pretty much everything. Why you might actually want this For the character-study addict: You love a deep dive into one complicated psyche, especially when said psyche doesn?t always realise how revealing it?s being. For fans of morally messy fiction: If you get suspicious when a book clearly tells you whom to hate, this one is your jam. It specialises in ?Oh no, now I feel sorry for him, that?s uncomfortable.? For the Scandinavian-lit enjoyer: This pairs beautifully with your collection of existential angst, chilly marriages, and people staring out of windows thinking about their souls. For the reader who loves a good villain backstory: Think of it as the clerical, Scandinavian version of ?But what if we heard his side?? Also: this is one of those books that looks perfectly respectable on the shelf?Portobello paperback, nice design, quietly literary?while actually containing fairly intense amounts of embarrassment, self-pity, doubt and awkward desire. Great value. About Crappy Old Books At Crappy Old Books , we specialise in volumes that have been properly lived with : lightly worn, structurally sound, and carrying just enough history to feel human. We don?t oversell: Good means ?readable, solid, and not embarrassing,? not ?wrapped in Mylar since birth.? So if you?d like to spend a few hundred pages inside the head of one deeply flawed pastor?wrestling with God, lust, shame, and his own narration?this Good copy of Gregorius is ready to move from our shelf to yours. He?s not asking you to absolve him. He?s just asking you to listen. (And you might, annoyingly, end up doing exactly that.).
