Crazy Norwegian Poll

Complete Review has an interesting post today about a recent poll in which readers voted on the best Norwegian novel of all time.

Ibsen? Hamsun? Undset? Lars Saabye Christensen? Jan Kjaerstad? All losers.

The winner was Gert Nygardshaug’s Mengele Zoo, a mystery novel by an author Michael Orthofer hasn’t even heard of. (Which is saying a lot.)

This just reconfirms my belief that here in the States, The Manny would win by a landslide.
