Stories by Philip Tafdrup
Wunderkammer is a collection of stories about bomb building, bullying, falling in love, suicide, killing pets, accidents with flammable liquids, a speed-loving and racist grandfather, about learning to smoke, stealing, spying on girls, surviving in the schoolyard hierarchy, about finding a gun in a desk drawer, about traffic killings, drowned hermits, animal abusers, first and second voters at football, undressing friends' sisters, about boiling piss and carrion in a pot over a fire, about poisoning a temporary worker, about glasses with animals in alcohol , about those who took the beatings so others could go free, about porn, about a game called Nuclear War, about being about to drown or about to grab the one you love and other highs and lows in a boy's upbringing.
