Röda rummet: Skildringar ur artist- och författarlivet

Arvid Falk, a young civil servant who wants to be a writer, leaves the office for the bohemian circle of painters and authors who meet in the Red Room of a Stockholm restaurant. Strindberg's first novel, a satire of the press, the church, the stock market and the art world of the 1870s, follows Falk's hopes and disappointments through thirty chapters.
