The Man Who Died
by Antti Tuomainen
I have not read any books from Antti Tuomainen before and this one surprised me. It was dark, witty with some dry humour and I laughed out loud several times. It’s odd considering that the book tells the story of a dying man and the genre is more or less Thriller or Nordic noir.
The main character disturbed me a little. He was emotionless, or seemed so as he did not actually reacted to anything. The writer told us how he felt, but I could not feel the emotion. Same goes with his actions that make no sense and I wondered several times the why’s in this books as it seemed so absurd time to time. There are no explanations to the illogical things in this book and I have come to understand that it is supposed to be like that.
The story itself is great to read and it has a good tempo so I was not bored at all even if I did not understand everything.
I will definitely read more books from Antti Tuomainen in the future and I recommend this book to everyone who does not take life too seriously and likes to read books from Nordic writers.
