Erland Loe is a modern classic of Norwegian literature, a screenwriter, director of theater and cinema, and a laureate of national and international awards. His second novel “Naive. Super” is a straightforward story written from the perspective of a twenty-five-year-old hero about very complex matters, a situational comedy with elements of a parable, a hilarious study of a lost meaning of life — it has been translated into two dozen languages, received with enthusiasm everywhere, including in Russia, became a European bestseller, and made the author, without exaggeration, a cult figure. This charming and ironically restrained work is akin to good primitive, “naive” painting — at first glance simple and funny, upon closer inspection — intelligent and touching, with details, despite the overall apparent simplicity, drawn accurately and masterfully.
