Yes, I'm a scandifag.
What do u wanna know?

Of course

GOATs of Scandinavia:

Sweden: Strindberg
Norway: Hamsun
Denmark: Kierkegaard

Buy this man's book.

Correct, even though Ibsen could be argued over Hamsun.

This one was decents but I disliked his other books. Mankell is so terribly politcally correct. I also wonder if translating a novel from one of these languages is more difficult than with normal languages (sry I know there's no "normal" language but you got it).

Martinson > Strindberg

Though not a Scandinavian people, who would Finland's GOAT be?

so which do you want

Alastalon Salissa by Volter Kilpi

Tove Jansson is the only good thing to come out of Finland ever.

Yes I've read the Knausman and so should you

Sinuhe Egyptiläinen

Critical culture essays of Georg Henrik von Wright

Kalevala

Tried reading Hunger, it was really boring.

I heard My Struggle is really boring.

kys senpai

The Dwarf by Lagenkvist was breddy gud

I read this with a Veeky Forums reading group on Goodreads, good old times when the board actually read books.

Scandis can't write anything besides Veeky Forums shitposts, except Kierkegaard, who was very good.

Tomas Transtromer is good

+1 Sinuhe Egyptiläinen. Love that book.

Try Halldór Laxness

t. someone who's never read the dramatists
