When his father dies, Doppler decides to leave everything behind and start a new life in the forest. There he reconnects with nature and bonds with a baby elk. A charming, absurd and subversive novel with serious undertones and criticism of our modern consumer society.

Shamelessly charming without intellectual fuss
