shipwrecks and bodies, relics of war and vanished lives, is a deep-dive into
landscape and culture. It leaves us fragile and shows us wonders.Holidaymakers
go to the beach to play. The world's great writers, film makers and artists
head there to tread the margins between life and death. In Death on the
Beach, Per Högselius leads us in their footsteps.What
do we find? Life-busting ideas, powerful landscapes, scenes to make you shiver,
and an entry-gate to some of the most exciting books and films you've never
heard of.
Translated from Swedish by award-winner
Agnes Brooméeacute; (The Gospel of the Eels), this gripping essay collection
reveals that longing inside us that continues to draw us to the sea - even when
so many have failed to return.
