How to Be Danish: A Journey to the Cultural Heart of Denmark by Patrick Kingsley

4.0

“How to be Danish” by Patrick Kingsley is an engagingly written overview of Danish current events. Not the details but the bigger picture of what Denmark is like and what Danes are thinking now. Now being around 2011-14. It’s not a long read which is a good thing. It doesn’t drag. And the bits and pieces of Danish culture, history and language Kingsley sneaks into his reporting provided the background that made his stories and interviews pop. I certainly learned a great deal about the New Nordic cuisine...and the Danish immigration debate...and why so many wind turbines.
