	Errata 2: November 2004
		Swedish writer – and member of the Swedish Academy – Torgny Lindgren is reviewed in The Guardian:
		Less well known, but still likely to bring up memories for some of a grey, gelatinous mess served in school kitchens, is the northern speciality "Pölsan", a member of the haggis family rendered in Tom Geddes's translation of Torgny Lindgren's latest novel as hash.
		Lindgren’s short novel is however a quite charming bagatelle, very typical for a certain strain of Swedish northern rural magical realism which in this case – intentionally or not – is almost on the edge of self-parody.

	The King David Report; Bathsheba (Stefan Heym, Torgny Lindgren)
		The familiar figures — Uriah the Hittite, Tamar, Absalom, David, Amnon, Joab, Mephibosheth, Nathan and, above all, Bathsheba herself — and a couple of original minor characters are given room to grow and really come to life.
		More than just the story is taken from the Old Testament; Lindgren's language has the cadence of biblical models and he handles the powerful (and easily misused) tool of mytho-poetic abstraction with skill.
		While both Lindgren and Heym have used the text of the Old Testament as a launching pad, reading between the lines of the biblical account and offering their own guess at the reality behind the words, their novels evoke very different worlds.

	Powell's Books - Hash by Torgny Lindgren (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		One of Sweden's most revered authors, Torgny Lindgren takes you places you would never have expected to go.
		"Lindgren is the prose laureate of Vasterbatten, the region in which Hash is set....The author's fantasies, indulged out of a duty he feels (and amply fulfils) to make his native region interesting, are grafted onto a brutal reality, finely observed....[His] Vasterbatten in this extraordinary and enthralling dark comedy has become a completely absorbing place."
		Their adventures are narrated in a faux-naif style by a 107-year-old newspaper reporter, who was witness to the events as they occurred in 1947, and has waited to confront his own relationship to life and death, happiness and suffering, and the power of art to express life's ambiguities.

	The New York Times > Books > Books in Brief: Fiction & Poetry
		The thesis of Torgny Lindgren's charming new novel sometimes seems to be: life isn't in the details -- it's in the entrails.
		Lindgren is a prominent novelist in his native Sweden; he also turns out to be a first-rate food writer, rapturously describing the flavor of ''various organs and body parts,'' ways to cook squirrels after you've flayed and gutted them and the best method for dispatching a pig's head.
		As the narrative alternates between the stir an unreliable reporter creates in his rest home and his tale of unlikely allies on a culinary quest, Lindgren delivers a story that's a clever sendup of the conceits of storytellers and a bittersweet meditation on life and the pleasures that bind us to it.

	Swedish Book Review : Review of
		It also alludes to the positive qualities of the past when in a (real) village called Raggsjö they meet a young Torgny Lindgren who has mild tuberculosis and is pleased to think he may die before growing up to face the burdens of adulthood.
		Ignoring the obvious repetition of circumstances, the writer's reply to the local council consists of a continuation of his story in partial interrogatory form, charging them with the responsibility for any loose ends that will never be known unless written down.
		The whole short novel is firmly set in Lindgren's inimitable faux-naïf style, with an originality deserving of a wider audience.
