Description
The Puppet on the Ceiling is the story of a vengeful woman... But it is also an underground book that invites us to think about "crime", "punishment" and "revenge"...In the so-called "primitive" period of humanity, the individual solved his own problems. With "civilization", "social contracts" were made and the state took on the task of "punishment". But does every "punishment" repair the damage to the victim, quell the desire for revenge and allow for peace? Or can "punishment" heal the wounds of raped women? Ingvar Ambjörnsen, who gained a well-deserved fan base with The White Negroes, about the lives of "those who have chosen to live an angry and crooked life on the edge of the impossible", this time delves into the darkness of the human soul. He tells the story of a woman who wants to avenge her sister, who attempted suicide after being raped and had to spend her life in a mental institution. This is a woman who plans her revenge over time, choosing to perpetuate the pain rather than strike a single, fatal blow. She can't bear her sister's silence for years and one day decides to come out of one of the closed rooms in the depths of her consciousness...
