Fåglar som inte finns - en fågelbok för existentiella skogspromenader

Ornithology for the soul: an atlas of species that live in the borderland between landscape and thought.

There are birds that can be ringed, counted, identified. And then there are the others.

In Fåglar som inte finns you meet Blåharke, Svartboll, Grönstinskluda and their more or less credible relatives. Each species is presented with its Swedish name, phonetic spelling, a highly unofficial Latin name (Crepuscavia lapidicola, Nigrosphaera distracta, Polychromornis confusa) and a field note that sounds scientific until you read between the lines.

This is not a book for those who want to tick off species. It is a book for those who have sensed something moving at the corner of the eye, in the landscape or within, without letting itself be caught by an ordinary name. The footnotes pretend to be dry, but the symbolic meanings reveal that this is as much about us as about the birds.

Illustrated like a serious field guide, written as something else entirely. A quiet, windswept collection of impossibly plausible species, for anyone who suspects there is such a thing as ornithology for the soul.

The book is written in Swedish.
