Erlend Loe leser «Kukene/Kukane»
Description:
Welcome to an evening where you can experience the entire novel, read by the author himself – live from the stage!
This will be a real reading marathon that will last 2-3 hours, of course with well-deserved breaks along the way, where the audience can stretch their legs and buy something at the bar.
Erlend Loe is known as a unique reader – with humor, warmth and perfect timing. If you have heard any of his books as audiobooks, you know what we are talking about.
About "Kukene/Kukane":
"One day Tander's penis falls off while he's in the shower. It's not ideal and a bad fit, to say the least."
This is how Erlend Loe's novel "Kukene/Kukane" begins – a story about loss, attachment and freedom, about the body, shame and what it really means to be whole.
The story is absurd, funny and thought-provoking. In typical Loe style, it balances lightness and depth, with an eye for the human that is both tender and burlesque.
The book received a number of glowing reviews when it was published last fall, and it was also nominated for the Booksellers Award.
From the reviews:
"When was the last time I laughed out loud at a novel? So, straight ahead laugh?” NRK
"Loe is funny, very funny." Dagbladet
"The author's dry-witted style is perfect for absurd stories like this." Stavanger Aftenblad "Only Loe can come up with something so wild and original, there's enough material here to cure a mild autumn depression." Adresseavisen
"Loe is, as always, a funny writer. He writes with an ease that is admirable." VG
