Lazy Days

By Erlend Loe, Don Bartlett and Don Shaw

Meet Bror Telemann. 42 years old. Husband to Nina Telemann. Father to Heidi, Berthold and Sabine. Currently: stage director at the Norwegian National Theatre. Soon to be: world-famous playwright and general talking head.

Now he's on holiday with his family at the foot of the Alps, south of Munich. That's in Germany. Nina loves Germany. Telemann does not. Telemann loves Nigella Lawson.

Ahem... he loves the theatre.That's better.

So, whilst his wife and children frolic in the dusky sunshine with lederhosen-sporting, schnitzel-scoffing locals, Telemann prefers to spend his time thinking about theatre... except when his mind wanders... again.

Subversive and original, this is the 2009 Norwegian bestseller from the deliciously dark mind of Erlend Loe.

Reviews for Lazy Days

[hvg-13 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

something is really rotten in the marriage that Loe writes about and it started way before the couple in question has left for vacation in South Germany.he, a playwright, is obsessed with Nigella Lawson, she speaks German and has a knack for Germany and maybe strong German men,...or so it seems.It erupts during vacation, the children remain pretty much in the background.
