The novel was published shortly after the tragic death of its author Thorsten Casmir: just like the population of his harsh, allegorical island Ohnsgrond he was suffering from Aids. Just like the young doctor, who in the novel subserves the rustic peasant population offshore Norway, Casmir saw sophisticated ignorance as the only reaction to medieval scourges of human kind. A sinister novel about a – almost – hopeless fight.
