Synopsis

The beloved author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared returns with an enchanting adventure that skewers the greed and hypocrisy that dominates our time and holds lessons about what’s truly important in life.
Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Jenny, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Hugo, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man whose company specializes in revenge services. As Jenny and Kevin seek revenge against the gallery owner who has wronged them, this madcap, funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colorful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly and the Pope. As he’s done in his previous novels, Jonas Jonasson acts as a travel guide through time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism and the artworld, with plenty of laughs along the way. Translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles

Goodreads review by Baba on January 20, 2023

You can read the blurb above or anywhere online, so on this occasion I will go straight to my thoughts, because the time taken to write/read about this book would leave you none the wiser as like his previous books, the core concepts and base characters of this read are quite original and pretty fun......more

3.5. Ole Mbatian a Maasai medicine man and his chief, Victor an odious so far right politically he should have been named Adolf, his ex-wife Jenny, his son Kevin and artist Irma Stern. How on earth do this disparate bunch connect??? This could only be created in the fertile mind of Jonas Jonasson!......more

Goodreads review by Aleksandra on June 26, 2023

Ovo je peta knjiga koju čitam od Junasona i iako je njegov način pisanja toliko prepoznatljiv i upečatljiv, iako ponekad zamoran od toliko neočekivanih preokreta i dalje me toliko razgali, iznenadi i nasmije, (posebno u trenu kad vrlo malo knjiga to može) da bi sve ispod 5⭐️ bilo malo!......more

Goodreads review by Natalie "Curling up with a Coffee and a Kindle" on May 27, 2021

After reading and loving 'The One Hundred Year Old Man who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared', I was thrilled to get approved for Jonasson's latest offering. All through the book, I had the overwhelming sense that he created a formula with that book and was hoping to replicate it with this one. I......more
