Sweet Sweet Revenge LTD: A Novel

By Jonas Jonasson and Rachel Willson-Broyles

The beloved author of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared returns with an enchanting adventure that skewers the greed and hypocrisy that dominate our time and holds lessons about what is truly important in life

Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Agneta, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Johan, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man whose company specializes in revenge services.

As Agneta and Kevin seek revenge against a gallery owner who has wronged them, this funny and philosophical novel takes off on a madcap journey that spans five continents and whirls around a colourful 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 art world, supplying plenty of laughs along the way.

Translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles.

Reviews for Sweet Sweet Revenge LTD

[neale_2 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Another unusual story set across two continents and two countries. If you like Jonas Jonasson's other novels you will like this one too. He skillfully brings together a few divergent story lines into a funny and entertaining novel.

[kayanelson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Another amusing book by Jonas Jonasson. His books always follow the same formula which includes a lot of disbelief, people who don’t know what they are doing and most of all, humor. I think I’ve read all his books and they do not get old.
