Twenty-five years after The Red Room, Strindberg returns to Stockholm at the end of the century, where Doctor Borg and his family gather in the Gothic Rooms restaurant. Marriages, careers, scandals and new ideas pass through the lives of an extended family as the century runs out. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
