Oh, that's so funny that your street is named for him! Is Johann Friedrich Struensee well-known still from Danish history? I kind of got the idea from the book that he, and the events and other central participants in the story, faded away into obscurity after the would-be revolution failed.

I took the book back to the library yesterday, wound up coming home with "Lewi's Journey" and "Blanche and Marie" by Enquist.

Yesterday I met a young Swedish woman at the gym. She graduated from MIT last year and is now working as an engineer at Ford Motor Company. I told her I had been reading a number of Swedish and other Scandinavian authors recently and had just finished Enquist's "Royal Physician." She was really enthusiastic and impressed when I mentioned him!

Right now I'm about halfway through "The Man Who Went Up in Smoke."

Again, thanks for the leads, Randi!
