About this ebook
An outrageously funny novel about a grumpy middle-aged man obsessed with life's little pitfalls—and the charms of Nigella Lawson
Meet Bror Telemann: 42 years old; husband to Nina Telemann; and father to Heidi, Berthold, and Sabine. Currently: stage director at the Norwegian National Theatre. Soon to be: world-famous playwright and general talking head. Now he's on vacation with his family at the foot of the Alps, south of Munich, Germany. Nina loves Germany. Telemann does not. Telemann loves Nigella Lawson. Ahem . . . he loves the theater. That's better. So, whilst his wife and children frolic in the dusky sunshine with lederhosen-sporting, schnitzel-scoffing locals, Telemann prefers to spend his time thinking about theater . . . except when his mind wanders . . . again. Subversive and original, this is another Norwegian bestseller, following on Doppler, from the deliciously dark mind of Erlend Loe.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5something is really rotten in the marriage that Loe writes about and it started way before the couple in question has left for vacation in South Germany.he, a playwright, is obsessed with Nigella Lawson, she speaks German and has a knack for Germany and maybe strong German men,...or so it seems.It erupts during vacation, the children remain pretty much in the background.
