We Go to the Park.
Written by Sara Stridsberg.
Illustrated by Beatrice Alemagna.
Translated from the Swedish by B. J. Woodstein.
Enchanted Lion Books, 2024.
Atmospheric and dreamlike, with a naïveté in the
illustrations that harks back to children’s art.
The plain, stark white pages which are interspersed
throughout, offset the mostly full-page, colour saturated illustrated pages.
There is a longing and pathos, and a yearning, to the text.
