Naiv.Super.

Norwegian title: Naiv. Super

The 25-year-old main character of Naiv. Super. has two friends. One good and one bad. And then he has a not too sympathetic brother. When this brother beats him in a game of crocket, his world falls apart. Naiv. Super. is a simple story about complicated things.

'Loe certainly has some of Salinger's lightness of touch, and often comic voice of his unnamed narrator recalls Salinger's Holden Caulfield. A charming debut novel.'THE TIMES
