"The Mortgage of Suffering" chronicles one year of the precarious life of a writer: moving between cities, debts, boring part-time jobs, lovers and dates without illusions. Somewhere in between are memories of childhood in the Arctic Circle, the experience of being abandoned in the world and the hope that suffering is a mortgage on the happiness that is about to begin.”
