I don't know how many times I've come back to this book since I first read it, and it never fails to amuse me. Danielsson, a Swedish comedian, has written a book about Gods and how they deal with current affairs (in 1978, so not so current anymore on all counts, but still). We have the son of Odin and Hugin, patron of Swedish hardbread, married to a Goddess born from Hera's spilled milk. We have the ridiculously short-sighted son of Athena and Baldir, Swedish patron of beauty and love. We show more have the half-siblings Brotherhood and Sisterhood, who are sent to outsmart the IT-giant. And much more.
A very entertaining book, and if you can read it and can get a hold of it, I strongly reccomend it

Det finns väl skäl till att det här inte är Tages mest ihågkomna bok. En kul, smått Gaimansk idé om hur moderna gudar interagerar med folket blir till en ganska tunn bok där lite för många av historierna känns mer som då dagsaktuell polemik där humorn inte riktigt räcker till för att göra dem allmängiltiga 45 år senare. Det sagt, ett par - inte minst då den kusligt aktuella Myten om politikern som inte fick dö - glimmar verkligen till och är Tage i högform.

Classic Swedish comedy about a crayfish party going overboard. And it would never had happened if they had had telephone...
