Title: Neither just scandinavian nor rage
Review: Aksel Sandemose is surely a Norwegian writer, as he always wrote in Norwegian, but as he himself states in one of the later editions of "A refugee crosses his tracks" he based the book on his own upbringing in the small town Nykobing in Denmark.Ultimately there is nothing Danish, Norwegian or Scandinavian about it - it is just what can happen to everyone growing up in a small town surrounded by a lot of small minds. And the feeling of wanting to pay back those who made your childhood a nightmare doesn't need a lot of analysis.But Aksel Sandemose's "A refugee crosses his tracks" definately makes you think about it twice before you judge other people just from their appearance... I can recommend that book to everyone interested in expanding her or his mind.
