Last two ones have been Erland Loe's "Naiv.Super." and Jonas Gardell's "Så går en dag ifrån vårt liv och kommer aldrig åter".
Loe's book is a quite easily reviewed one. Our protagonist is a slightly simple minded and straightforward young man. He solves problems by beating sticks through his Brio Bolt Board and writes lists. But he is put to some scary changes when his brother invites him to New York.
All in all a warm tale and an inspiring one for anyone who wants to take that step and do something new. Thanks Em.
Gardell's book is a Swedish one, and a review without the words "radhusångest" and the fall of "folkhemmet" wouldn't make it complete. It is black and spot on but with a warmth and a clear sight on what makes us Swedes, for good and bad. It kicks you in the groin on several spots. And I just want to stand up and scream at some points. All in all it leaves me with the same will to do things differently that I got from Doctor Glas. That this man, paired with his Mark are voted to be the most desired neighbours scares me.
