Asked about his literary influences, Erlend Loe said: Douglas Adams, Samuel Beckett and Thomas Bernhard.

If you've read Erlend Loe, these names make immediate sense. If you haven't read Erlend Loe, then I apologise for wasting your time as you read this toot when you could be reading Erlend Loe instead.

I am a Loe fangirl, so my opinion can't be trusted, but I recommend every one of his novels. Each one a laconic, comic world of existential anxiety and provincial absurdity and competent moose and incompetent men.

Four days ago, Erlend Loe signed my book and I am only boasting about it now. Never let it be said that I have no restraint.

I'm just a girl, standing in front of the publishing industry, asking it to name the translator on the cover so I don't have to post an extra toot every time.

@CiaraNi ok, you got me. Which one do I start with?

@sierrakim Oh I can't be trusted, but I will say Doppler. The first one I read, the one that made me a fan.
