We Go to the Park

We Go to the Park is a beautiful, lyrical meditation on going to the park to play – which extends into a reflection on life itself – from Booker Prize-longlisted author Sara Stridsberg and the inimitable, award-winning illustrator Beatrice Alemagna. Translated from Swedish by B.J. Woodstein.

The park beckons us to leave our daily routines behind and enter its zone of endless possibility. In the park, the usual rules don't apply. In the park, what matters most is the moment, and losing track of time to the timelessness of imagination, invention, observation and chance. In the park, there are risks, of course, but also the deepest rewards, to be found in the freedom experienced through play that is both embodied and participatory. It is not the lone “I”, but the “we” that goes to the park, where chance encounters might suddenly become moments of deep connection – however fleeting – with others, nature and ourselves.

Originally published in Sweden, this first English-language edition, printed in Italy on thick cream paper, offers an immersive experience of transformation, longing and transcendence to readers of all ages, while reminding adult readers in particular of the everyday miracle contained in encountering another consciousness.
