Erlend Loe: Naïve. Super

Erlend Loe (b. 1969) is a popular Norwegian writer, critic, screenwriter, and theater and film director, who has won a number of national and international awards.
Loe’s novel "Naïve. Super" — an unpretentious story told from the perspective of a thirty-year-old protagonist about very complex things, a situational comedy with elements of a parable, a hilarious study on the lost meaning of life — has been translated into two dozen languages, received with enthusiasm everywhere, including in Russia, became a European bestseller, and made the author a figure who is, without exaggeration, iconic. This charming and ironically restrained work is akin to good primitive, "naïve" painting — simple and funny at first glance, but insightful and touching upon closer inspection, with details that, despite their apparent simplicity, are drawn accurately and masterfully.
