Translated from Norwegian into English by Tor Ketil SolbergRating: 4.5/5 Naïve Super has been written in the year 1996, when Fax was the most prevalent mode of long distance communication. This is an unusual short debut novel by Erlend Loe. The story is about an unnamed protagonist of age 25years when he hits kind of like a quarter life crisis. He is searching for answers to the meaning of existence. Reading this novel reminded me of the more detached exposition of Holden Caulfield from CatcherI believe in cleansing the soul through fun and games. I also believe in love.
4.5, rounded up.I first heard of this slim, quick read as it was listed as one of the top ten books favored by current US Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg - and that he had actually learned Norwegian in order to read it in the original language! I figured something that had impelled that kind of a commitment must be something special - and indeed, there is a lot packed into this deceptively simple little tome. It has been called a Norwegian The Catcher in the Rye and that is rather an apt
I just love Loe's style, his weird, but extremely relatable characters, his sense for little things and his lists. An easy, fun and excellent read. I have also learned a lot about time :).
What a satisfying read. Nothing happens, in the most fascinating way imaginable. Just as I wrote that last sentence I remembered the feeling of watching My Dinner with Andre for the first time. This novel gave me a similar feeling--happy to be alive, happy to be literate, happy to have time to read and to think. It's that kind of book.
I was really looking forward to reading Naïve. Super. As I started reading, however, the word quirky kept coming to mind, and then I realized I didnt exactly know what quirky means, so I looked it up and saw it was unusual in an attractive and interesting way . It was certainly unusual, quite off-beat, but I didnt find it attractive or interesting. I was quite bored and just wanted it to end. This doesnt mean it is bad. It just means it isnt my kind of book.
From a Lego modeling perspective, what is happiness?
