Termush, a human communicative about the state. About Sven Holm's book “Termush”

Holm is not curious in the very minute of destruction, nor in the heroic conflict for survival. Instead, it focuses on what happens after the demolition has already happened. This starting point introduces 1 of the key themes of the novel: endurance is simply a commodity that can be obtained within the logic of rational administration. The endurance here is not the consequence of an accident or social solidarity, but of an earlier financial decision. The characters “Termushu” are not “chosen” but customers.
