Gentlemen

Klas, a ruined young writer full of illusions, decides to write the story of the charismatic Morgan brothers: the boxer and musician Henry, with a Gatsby-like ability to turn life into a party, and the poet Leo, who draws his brother and Klas into a dangerous conspiracy involving arms trafficking. Written with a profound sense of style and narrative, Gentlemen is the most important Swedish novel of the last thirty years. A work that simultaneously celebrates and mourns the era of World War II, with its jazz, poetry, hidden treasures, and espionage.
