      abstract = {Lars Hertervig is a provincial young Norwegian from a poor  Quaker background, studying art in Germany and prone to  crippling insecurities, sexual obsessions, and terrifying  hallucinations. In prose as hypnotic as Beckett's or  Berhard's--but earthier and funnier--the novel describes a  single day of crisis and its repercussions, years later for  Lars himself and a century later for a writer inspired by  Hertervig's vision. Melancholy takes us into a painter's  fragile consciousness, vulnerable to everything but  therefore uniquely able to see its beauty and its light.},
