Description

Translated by Caroline WaightKristian Bang Foss darkly comic, prize-winning road-novelsatire sees two unlikely friends set out to defy the Danishwelfare state and Death himself with both hilarious andtragic consequences.Life is looking pretty bleak for Asger. After a fiasco at workfinds him unceremoniously booted from both his advertisingjob and his family home, he finds himself the carer ofWaldemar, arguably Denmarks sickest man.Their initial days together in a Copenhagen ghetto only serveto pile on the hopelessness. But then Waldemar hatches aplan: fabled healer Torbi el Mekki offers a miracle cure to allwho seek an audience. Only thing is, hes in Morocco overtwo thousand miles and another continent away.Piling into a beaten-up Volkswagen, the two set off on a zanyroad trip across Europe towards a dubious salvation. But itsoon seems they may have unwanted company, for on theirtail is a pitch-black Audi…Tender and indignant, satiric and apocalyptic, wildly, flaminglyfunny. – WeekendavisenWith Kristian Bang Foss, the devil created the world, both natureand culture, both the desert and the local authorities. This createsdevilish humor and poetry. It is hopelessly sad and it is damnfunny. – Politiken
