Family history and inherited stories

A visit to his dying grandmother gives Asger a reason to question the family’s version of his grandfather’s past. The story then opens onto three generations of a Norwegian family, tracing the gap between a celebrated account of wartime heroism and the less flattering history revealed to the narrator. That contrast—between public legend and private family memory—anchors the book’s multigenerational saga.

Book overview

Doghead is a highly imaginative, exuberant saga that follows three generations of a wildly dysfunctional Norwegian family. When Asger, the narrator, visits his dying grandma, he learns that contrary to popular belief, Grandpa was not a war hero. Instead, his nickname was "Crackpot," and both before and after he escaped from a Nazi concentration camp, he was, to put it bluntly, a cheat and a liar. From there the real family history unfolds, and like all great stories, it is a tale that will stay with the reader forever.
