Reviews / Votes
'Wonderfully subversive, funny and original' Observer. 'Laugh-out-loud, typically distinctive, satirical and hilarious' VICE magazine. 'A darkly comic fable which makes some astringent points about the way we live today' Independent. 'There's much to enjoy in Loe's dead-pan comedy' Financial Times. 'An absurdist, hilariously subversive novel' Saga. 'Funny and a touch dark ... [Doppler] is like a Nordic Obi-Wan' Big Issue. 'It gripped me from the very first page and I read the entire thing in a single day. It was unusual in that it was both powerful and entertaining; a rare combination that is difficult to pull off' Farm Lane Books. 'Compelling, disquieting and perceptive' Adresseavisen. 'Shamelessly charming without intellectual fuss' Stavanger Aftenblad. 'With Doppler, Erlend Loe has become Norway's most alarming writer' Dagens Naeringsliv.More details
