Innocentia Park

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

Innocentia Park is a novel that differs from others by Ingvar Ambjørnsen. The narrative takes place in Germany, and the narrator, a German property magnate, is a whole new personality for this authorship. Innocentia Park is an existential novel about fatigue, disruption and decadence. And later, as I am walking home, the city seems transformed, renewed. The pungent smell of the wet soil as well as the wet asphalt. For weeks on end the sun has been warming the dust, heating it up, and now the dust is letting all its fragrances go in the mix that is the smell of late summer, wet late summer night. And as with a stroke of magic the wind (yes, the wind!) makes a crack in the clouds and reveal the moon once more, the great bit silvery moon; now lighting the river and street in a silvery light, and I am walking there splashing in my black moccasins; wet to the core and quite happy. For it does not take more. You bump into a little brown bear of a woman that you have not seen for a few days, the sluices of heaven open, and you´re standing there in the doorway of a pub, watching her dance in the street, while the rain pours down. Astrid. Without a P. The one I will never touch.
