A perfect summer read for children as well as grown ups. This story will never be too old to be read. This is the first unabridged Norwegian edition.

MrBook Wow, first editions are so great to find! Lucky you! 😎👍🏻 8y

Hillarious and serious at the same time. Entertaining!

RealLifeReading You're the first I've seen to have read Alain Mabanckou. I read Memoirs of a Porcupine earlier this year. Weird and wonderful! 8y

SolumBokvennen Next up here is Tomorrow I'll Be Twenty. We read a lot of African Literature. Do you know Chinelo Okparanta or Chigozie Obioma? 👌🏻👌🏻 @RealLifeReading 8y

RealLifeReading Oh yes! Ive read Obioma but have not Chinelo Okparanta yet. Hope you'll post more!

The Fishermen: A Novel

SolumBokvennen I'm half way through Obioma now (The Fishermen, I believe his debut and only novel so far?) and love it! Highly recommend Under the Udala Trees by Okparanta 👌🏻 8y
