We, The Infected

This is something I have thunk about on many occasions. Oskar being turned was an inevitability in my mind right from the first time I finished reading the book. For me, the two of them riding off into the sunrise to spend eternity together killing and drinking, running and playing through the snow...

But I guess the question I still have isn’t whether or not Oskar and Eli owe anything to the world, but rather, should they hold on to their humanity in spite of how they were treated? A ‘perfect’ Eli and Oskar might have. But these are frightened children… This is the more interesting question. Pe...

Wow Pete brings up a touchy subject. I also agree and disagree to an extent. This is strictly my opinion of course but I did read those lines you highlighted when Angelmaker first posted it and I have to admit it bothered me. I think it's because there is some truth to that. I agree E&O's roles were...

They're in Swedish, of course, so maybe not so interesting to you, but I just thought I'd tell you. Yeah, unfortunately I'm one of those Swedish-challenged folks. I'm guessing you never have the occasion to handle any of John's English translated works. We do get a couple of copies for our archives...

If they tell Eli the truth, will she show mercy, will Eli help this pair of lovers? Surely Eli and Oskar have decisively turned their backs on humanity - I couldn't disagree more. People are taking what Stefan saw a bit OTT. It was an -incident-. He walked into something that was sacred to them, ju...

Wow Ash that's an amazing photograph. Haunting too.

Hello Angelmaker and Welcome! :) If I'm not mistaken the book is titled "Låt de gamla drömmarna dö" which is Swedish for "Let The Old Dreams Die". It contains the short story of the same name which is the epilogue to Oskar and Eli. The English version of "Paper Walls" will include the official Engli...

It's been said the person behind JAL wearing the mask is his wife Mia since they do most of their promotional work together.

Hello Elias Welcome to our family! Your English seems fine enough. Sorry I can't help with your question because I'm on the long list of people waiting for English versions of JAL's books. But as Intrige said, she knows a lot about JAL's other books and has been here longer than many people. Don't b...

@Intrige HAHA me too 100%!

The more I think about it, the more Wolfchild's assessment (in the other thread) makes sense. Karin and Stefan were asked to come to Barcelona and eventually become Oskar and Eli's surrogate parents for the remainder of their lives.
