"Considered by many to be Stig Dagerman's magnum opus, Wedding Worries spans the twenty-four hours of Hildur Palm's wedding day and night, beginning with an ominous knock on her door before sunrise and ending after a fitful night with an uncertain look into her future with her new husband, the village butcher. Characterized by its stream of consciousness style and perspective shifts between a colorful variety of characters, this novel oscillates between chaotic burlesque and sharp meditation, tackling themes of loneliness, suffering, and the human capacity to make do with unalterable circumstances, set against the backdrop of rural Sweden." --
