Who Killed Bambi?
Autor Monika Fagerholm Traducere de Bradley Harmonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mar 2026
Set in a fictional, affluent suburb of Helsinki, the main narrative follows Gusten Grippe, a successful realtor haunted by his role as one of the four teenage rapists—the only one to report the crime and admit his guilt. When, a decade afterward, an acquaintance plans to make a movie about what happened, Gusten attempts to atone for his past in the face of the community’s stoic silence and misguided consideration for reputation. Released at the height of the #MeToo movement and translated into a dozen languages, Who Killed Bambi? remains highly relevant in a world grappling with the ubiquity of sexual violence, toxic masculinity, and gender discrimination.

Recenzii
Praise for the Swedish-language edition:
“I’m absolutely crazy about this novel. . . . A stylistic masterpiece.”—Information
“[An] astonishing novel. . . . [Fagerholm’s] style is evocative, agitative, flowing . . . merciless in her portrayal of human hypocrisy, whilst also writing insightfully in a number of side stories about love and friendship. . . . No one [in Who Killed Bambi?] is capable of putting themselves in another person’s shoes. But Monika Fagerholm is. And she does it with bite and wit.”—Politiken
“There are some things that should never change in this world. Monika Fagerholm’s prose is one of them.”—Helsingin Sanomat
“Fagerholm writes in an explosive and suggestive prose. . . . A complex, mythological and explosive novel. . . . A furious, scorching and pounding depiction of failed youths in an upper-class reality.”—Kristeligt Dagblad
“Brutal, harrowing and magnificently intense novel. . . . Fagerholm masterfully succeeds in portraying the chain of lies, denials, excuses and circumvention mechanisms that the rape sets into motion. . . . Despite the gloomy theme, the book is definitely not without humor—of the bitter and sharp kind. . . . A reading experience of the highest quality.”—Verdens Gang
“Fagerholm’s language is fearsomely creative and playful. . . . She is also bitingly ironic in her depiction of suburbia’s bourgeois snobbery—there’s plenty of class-conscious social criticism to be had here. Fagerholm’s dark, funny and fascinating novel strikingly hints at what will ultimately be killed, and why.”—Dagbladet
“An intricate novel tuned with a quiet rage. Only a great author knows how to generate such linguistic energy.”—Dagens Nyheter
“The fantastic and fairy tale-like goes hand in hand with the horrific in a tale wherein Fagerholm shows how destructive it can be to wrap oneself in sorrow and pain, for the individual as well as a community at large.”—Svenska YLE
“[A] melancholy tale. . . . Trauma, and especially denial of it, makes connections too brittle to last, and efforts to paper over it with money or convenient stories are doomed to failure. Difficult, both rhetorically and thematically, but worthwhile.”
