A dysfunctional Norwegian family...
”Doghead” is the prize winning Danish bestseller by Morten Ramsland. Compared to John Irving and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Ramsland has created an unforgettable novel about three generations of a dysfunctional Norwegian family. When Asger, the narrator, learns that his grandfather was not a hero during World War II, other family secrets begin to unfold. With humor and imagination, Ramsland tells an extravagant family history with larger than life characters. The backdrop of 20th century Scandinavian history provides the perfect setting for this story of flawed survivors. Written by Morten Ramsland, 2005 (translated from the Danish, 2009). This title is located on the second floor in the fiction collection (FIC RAMSLAND).
