Keeper of the Protocols: The Works of Jens Bjørneboe in the Crosscurrents of Western Literature

5/5 ( ratings)

Keeper of the Protocols illuminates the work of one of Norway's dominant post-war literary figures. Jens Bjørneboe is seen as a consciously European writer, and the book traces the influence and congruence in his works with other European writers and thinkers of international stature: Kafka, Strindberg, Brecht, Sartre, Camus, and Conrad. This book also traces Bjørneboe's trajectory as a former painter with highly esthetic concerns, to his most lasting literary works, which balance an existential and mystic view with social engagement.
