The Authority looks favourably upon meticulousness, efficiency and ambition. Bjorn has all of this in spades, but it's only in the Room that he can really shine. Unfortunately, his colleagues see things differently. In fact, they don't even see the Room at all.

The Room is a short, sharp and fiendish fable in the tradition of Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Charlie Kauffman. If you have ever toiled in an office, felt like the world was against you or questioned the nature of reality then this is the novel for you.

Kritikerstimmen

A gripping, tense, demonic fable in which the unease is precision-tooled and the turns of the screw wholly unexpected.
The Room is the most effective chapbook on workplace comportment since Glengarry Glen Ross. Hats off!
Thoroughly enjoyable… If you read only one novel by a famous Swedish actor translated into English this year, make it The Room (Ian Sansom)
Kafka meets The Office in this hilarious and chilling Swedish fable of workplace politics (Kate Saunders)
A brief but brilliant tale (Stephanie Boland)
surreal, funny and unsettling (Arifa Akbar)
The novel works both as a glorious satire of the modern workplace and as a psychological drama played through the eyes of Bjorn, a pedantic and thoroughly unreliable narrator. As entertaining as it is disturbing to be in his mind, I was both intrigued and entertained. (Fanny Blake)
This is a very funny book about a magical room, but it is also a familiar, humane story about alienation and intolerance, set during a bleak Swedish winter (Jonathan McAloon)
brilliantly deadpan...often very funny (Eileen Battersby)
The Room deftly creates an intense mood that remains unbroken for the short, enjoyable period this novella takes to read (Jane Graham)
