The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is one of the strangest creatures nature ever created. Remarkably little is known about the eel, even today. What we do know is that it’s born as a tiny willow-leaf-shaped larva in the Sargasso Sea, travels on the ocean currents toward the coasts of Europe - a journey of about 4,000 miles that takes at least two years. Upon arrival, it transforms itself into a glass eel and then into a yellow eel before it wanders up into fresh water.

A very unique book in its approach. In style somewhat resembling Other Minds by Godfrey-Smith, but still very much its own catergory.
Mixing detective style excitement about the millenium search to discover the Eel’s many riddles with a very personal journey throuh the authors relation to his father, and the 3-generation journey that transformed Sweden into modernity.
Metaphysical pounderings that happily keeps it within the realms of the physical, but shoot out more questions to contemplate rather than laying down answers.
A book structure and tone of voice very hard to explain in a review - must be read.
Winner of the 2019 August-price (a Swedish litterary award).
