Goodreads asked Bjørn Larssen:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Bjørn Larssen I've always known I was going to write about the Norse Gods. Children is a dark book with humour in it. 2020s are a dark decade with gallows humour at best. Therefore, Why Odin Drinks is 90% humour, 10% philosophy; think Calvin & Hobbes, or Terry Pratchett. I don't think the world needs more darkness in it right now. But it always needs more laughs. And more Norse Gods.
