Perhaps the first thing to say about this book is that it’s not really a novel. It’s presented in chapters and it’s maybe too long to call it a novella. But a novel generally has a character go through some degree of personal change over the course of the novel. Overall, it feels like one act in a longer work. Does this matter? Probably not. But if...
So, that should be all you need to decide whether you want to read the book. If you do, go and do it now – I’ll be right here waiting for when you get back. Otherwise, let’s take a closer look at some of the characters that Doppler meets along the way. Doppler’s wife becomes pregnant during the book, thanks to a conjugal visit she pays to her husba...
For me, the broadest theme of the book is mental health. In Doppler, Erlend Loe is presenting a main character who appears to be mentally unwell. One of the main problems with mental health, however, is that it always relates to ‘normal’. If you asked Doppler, he would tell you that he’s perfectly fine. Yet he’s in a mental state in which living ou...
Doppler admits to never really knowing his father all that well. In the book, the older Dusseldorf becomes a sort of proxy for Doppler’s grief. Dusseldorf didn’t know his father either, and yet he knows exactly where, when, and how he died thanks to the military records. Dusseldorf dedicates himself to recreating his father’s last moments as a scal...
Another central theme is consumerism, and the way Doppler rails against it. Early in the book, Doppler discusses being almost overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices that have to be made simply to build a new bathroom. And then, when the Iraq war breaks out, he sighs at the inconvenience of having to formulate an opinion on that as well and have...
Over time, people join Doppler in the forest. Gregus spends more time there, helping with his totem pole, also Dusseldorf, post non-suicide as well as a right-wing dog-walker that Doppler calls The Reactionary and a thief called Roger. This is slightly useful to Doppler while he’s still crafting his totem pole. But once he’s done, the company gets ...
