Göteborgshändelserna

Drawing on records of the EU summit held in Gothenburg in 2001, the novel sends a young man known as T-Gul wandering through the city during those days, with an elderly figure called Drakdödaren Buskage Mindre among the people he crosses. T-Gul slips in and out of a school ringed by shipping containers, sits in on a talk about developing-world debt while the main avenue erupts, joins a street party where shots ring out unseen, and is kettled and chased by police. Written like an official report, it leaves open what really took place.
