Elling, obra que recibió el Premio de los Libreros de Noruega, nos cuenta las aventuras de uno de los personajes más tiernos y entrañables que ha dado la literatura nórdica en los últimos años. Elling posee una complicada e hiperactiva imaginación y ha sido siempre mimado por su madre, así que, cuando ella muere, le cuesta adaptarse a su nueva vida y es internado en un centro, del que saldrá para compartir un piso tutelado en Oslo junto a su compañero Kjell Bjarne, su hermano de sangre, que es su contrapunto en todos los sentidos, empezando por su enorme diferencia de estatura… Roman touchant, à la fois tragile et extrêmement drôle sur la difficulté à vivre sa vie quotidienne lorsque l'on est confronté à des phobies sociales. La description de la vie intérieure et émotionnelle du personnage principal Elling est subtile, riche et fouillée. Le livre, très bien écrit, reste léger en dépit de sa gravité. Excellemment traduit par Jean-Baptiste Coursaud. This is a funny and touching novel about two men who become blood brothers, and the problems they have. Apart from the originality and the tangibility of the story and the characters, the book is also exceedingly well written. I have rarely read a novel with such a natural flow. The Finnish translation leaves something to be desired, though. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Forty-year-old Elling, victim of a wildly overactive imagination, has spent his entire life secured under his mother's thumb. However, when she dies Elling is left without the first idea of how to look after himself so he admits himself into the very helpful Broynes Rehabilitation Centre where he meets and befriends fellow inmate Kjell Bjarne.After a short stint at Broynes, Elling and Kjell Bjarne return to Oslo where they start their new lives together as room-mates on a quest to become normal average people. But the real world is fraught with fears that they must first learn to conquer; answering the telephone for one, leaving the house for another and the journey outdoors is by no means an easy one.By the end of the novel Kjell has found himself a girlfriend, albeit a pregnant drunk, the upstairs neighbour Reidun, and Elling has discovered his love for poetry, in the pursuit of which he makes friends with an elderly poet. Finally both men are on their way to a more normal life. Told with deceptively simple language, gentle quirky comedy, and wonderful characters this offers a surprisingly profound view of the world.
