This book, appropriately enough, offers a linguistic challenge. Which preposition is correct: is this a book on, by, for, or toward Gunnar Olsson? Is it amidst, between or outside him? As these most spatial of relational words suggest, there are a variety of ways of conceiving of the work of Gunnar Olsson, but no single way of summing it up. As we shall see, prepositions will reappear in his work.
