This book presents a portrait that is so intimate, refreshingly honest and revealing that Edvard Munch, (taciturn, illusive, legendary), emerges from the pages a living human being. Among the privileged few who gained the great Norwegian artist’s confidence, only Stenersen could have written such a book, having possessed the two essential prerequisites for such an undertaking: a personal and psychological insight into the Munch mystique, and a literary style admirably suited for Munch’s own pointed, incisive and bluntly informal mode of expression. This book has been widely acclaimed by critics, who have called it “unique... nearly perfect... entertaining... incomparable.”
