	Per Olov Enquist
		Per Olov Enquist was born and raised in Hjoggböle in northern Sweden.
		Enquist's further experiment with the documentary approach is seen in HESS (1966), which explored the solo flight of Rudolf Hess to England to end World War II.
		Enquist asks the question, "what if an intellectual and humanist were the ruler?" Struensee thinks he is a man of the people, but he is no politician, and in the same way that he believes in his reforms, his opponent Guldberg, politically more talented, also thinks that he works for justice.

	Per Olov Enquist recensies
		Enquist neemt aan dat er tussen Blanche en Charcot een intense liefdesband heeft bestaan en in de roman is die veronderstelling ook werkelijkheid geworden.
		Enquist heeft grotendeels gekozen voor het verhaal van Blanche, voor haar visie op haar eigen leven en op dat van Marie, beide levens met 'in het middelpunt een stof, radium geheten, raadselachtig licht uitstralend, fladderend als de liefde, nog niet dodelijk'.
		Enquist stelt het leven aan het hof voor als een gekkenhuis en daarbinnen is dit huwelijk zo mogelijk nog idioter.

	Swedish Book Review : Per Olov Enquist - Introduction
		Per Olov Enquist was born in 1934 in the village of Hjoggböle in Northern Sweden.
		While the early emotional and financial hardships that Enquist experienced may have shaped his intellectual life, many of the philosophical problems and complex narrative structures that he has explored as a writer derive from or are related to the religious texts and debates to which he was exposed as a boy.
		Enquist’s next novel, Legionärerna (1968, The Legionnaires) is a powerful documentary demonstration of the fluid and constant interaction between past and present, and between the individual and society.

		Enquist has responded saying that the real mistake is to 'believe that the document is in some sense truer than fiction' - thereby pointing once again to the realist's fantasy that they are dealing with empirical rather than social facts.
		However, Enquist illuminates his narration of this discrete episode in the history of liberal reforms with the paradoxical figure of the 'fl torch.' The fl torch may refer either to Horkheimer's and Adorno's 'dialectic of enlightenment' - reason's spontaneous self-transformation into terror - or to a less extreme 'suspicion' of Enlightenment.
		In Enquist's novel of 1978, The March of the Musicians, the political worker Emblad dreamed that he was enchained on a square mountain in the middle of the sea.

	The Royal Physician's Visit - Per Olov Enquist
		"Per Olov Enquist has fashioned one of the most dramatic and memorable historical novels to have hit these shores in years.
		Enquist relates the story well, sympathetic to the childlike Christian VII and the idealist Struensee.
		The tone is almost dispassionate, yet Enquist clearly is passionate about much of the material -- the injustices, the senselessness, the small-mindedness, the outright insanity.

	Kartritarna - Per Olov Enquist
		Swedish identity and history is prominent throughout, though Enquist considers it in part also from abroad, writing about his Copenhagen years or focussing on a group of Swedish emigrants who moved to Brazil and what had become of that community.
		Not surprisingly, one of the starting points for several of the essays appears to be a book or play that Enquist never completed, ideas that attracted him but that he couldn't transform into a novel or drama.
		The essays are a bit uneven -- Enquist is better on the more distant events than the here and now, as well as on the morally ambiguous rather than the straightforward -- but on the whole very strong.

	THE ROYAL PHYSICIAN
		Now Per Olov Enquist, a veteran Swedish novelist and playwright, has shaped this remarkable story into a gripping, fast-paced narrative, The Royal Physician’s Visit, that is crammed with bizarre incidents – and that is, as it happens, entirely consistent with the known facts.
		Certainly Enquist’s four principal characters are as realized with a vividness and subtlety that places the book in the front ranks of contemporary literary fiction.
		They play at my feet and they hear the scratching of my pen, and they whisper.” Perhaps the most astonishing thing of all about this story that astonishes at every turn is that it took this long for someone to come along and tell it.

		The queen was divorced and exiled, and Guldberg became Christian’s manager and Denmark’s prime minister.
		Enquist explosively expands this parenthesis in Danish history into an ironized romantic tragedy of a very high order, one that fills the reader with horror and pity on every page.
