Scandinavian Humor & Other Myths | John Louis Anderson | 1986 |
John Louis Anderson, Scandinavian Humor & Other Myths, © 1986 Nordbook, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Soft Cover, 219 Pages, 0-9616967-0-2. You will have a hard time suppressing a smile as you page though this book. It all started with an article in MPLS/St.Paul magazine entitled "The New Scandinavian Gods," featuring such deities as Therapy, Goddess of Rosemaled Toilet Seats and Lefse, Goddess of Unseasoned Food. From there it snowballed into a collection of canards about the Nordic race that only a member of that race could fail to appreciate. Not just old jokes, but whole treatises on aspects of Scandinavian character and behavior. Grab a cup of black coffee and a bowl of Jell-O, sit down and cuddle up with this book. It will provide no warmth, of course, but a lot of light. |
