Tässä oli hieman samaa ongelmaa kuin Loen kirjassa L. Alku oli älyttömän hauska, mutta tunnelma ei kanna ihan kirjan koko pituutta. Oli tämä silti parempi kuin L, jo ihan aiheensa takia, mutta myös varmasti pituutensa. Suomi-kliseitä olisi voinut kirjassa hyödyntää enemmänkin, mutta koko ideahan toki oli, että Suomesta ei itse asiassa tiedetä tuon taivaallista. Kirjassa oli myös jatkuvaa aikaisemmin sanottuun viittaamista, mikä oli aikansa hauskaa, mutta näin äärimmilleen vietynä tyylikeino alka More...

I really enjoyed some of Loe's previous books, e.g. "Naiv: Super" and "Doppler", but this is really my least favourite.

While bordering on the insane with repetitive remarks, especially regarding water, Loe triggers an aspergeroid-ish manic feel throughout the book which centers on a young adult male trying to write a pamphlet about Finland, designed to lure Norwegians there.

Very few full stops are used, and I mean that lingually. About the plot and the More...

Underholdende bog om en mand og hans tanker. Der er ingen kapitler i bogen og yderst få afsnit, dette gør at man ikke så let kan stoppe og lægge bogen fra sig og dermed får den læst ret så hurtigt.

Writing one or two sentences per page cannot be considered good writing. Regarldess of the story.

I started to translate this book from bokmaal into Italian after printing the original version from the Bologna University Foreign Languages Department Library. It was summer. I was lonely and unemployed. That's why I had any sort of crazy intellectual ideas.

Honestly I translated just the first 20-25 pages then I gave up my self imposed torture.

Furthermore Loe has not divided this book into chapters. Imagine a flow of 150 norwegian written pages without any single inter More...
