5.0 out of 5 stars Style that mirrors the painter, January 25, 2004

This review is from: The Story of Edvard Munch (Paperback)
Bjrstad did a wonderful job portraying Munch with his style and prose. This dark book is a fabulous read, especially for fans of art history and Edvard Munch. The book does not read like the average novel, but the style is quickly and easily adapted too. I strongly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars mystical munch, March 18, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book is in reality historical fiction, but based generously on the letters and journal entries of Edvard Munch. In some ways it is like a psychodrama given the complex emotional make-up of the painter. I read it slowly in order to absorb all the nuances created by the author. Ketil Bjornstad wrote as if he were a personal friend of Munch's. I found myself stopping frequently to study the paintings described in the book.
