Once, Doppler lived in a nice house and went to work every morning in his Volvo. The, shortly after his father died, he left his job, his home and his family, and went to live in the forest.
For a while, Doppler is strangely content. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, and he finds companionship in the form of a tenacious baby elk named Bongo.
But over time, others are attracted to their simple way of life. Doppler is joined by his young son (who quickly goes into daytime television withdrawal). Düsseldorf - a depressed miniature-soldier enthusiast - sets up camp nearby and is followed by an obnoxious right-wing dog walker. Even Doppler's pregnant wife pays the occasional conjugal visit.
And with every convert to his new life in the woods, the existence that Doppler foresaw - alone, in the forest, with his elk - is disappearing...
Compelling and perceptive, Doppler is a deeply subversive fable from one of Norway's best-selling writers.
