This is an automatically translated description
Lynn Ullman's father is the legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman and her mother is the famous Norwegian actress Liv Ullman, so she grew up in a creative atmosphere, led a travelling life between Norway, the United States and her parents' home on the island of Førø and later became a writer. The novel The Bewildered is the story of her childhood attachment, her teenage awkwardness, and her attempts to find her place in her father's clear, minute-by-minute world.
Lynn Ullman and her father called this book their work or project. It was supposed to be a series of interviews that they began only when the thread of conversation was already breaking and the words were not sticking to memory. Seven years after his father's death, the recorder was found in a chest in the attic, and the recordings formed a nostalgic story about growing up and growing old, about family and identity, love and creativity. The novel The Confused has become a collection of impressions, moments, places and names. It is a story about the inevitable, about the fact that time takes its toll, memory is fragile, and our nature is restless, always striving for something and constantly longing for the unfulfilled.
