Bookslut | Naive. Super by Erland Loe (589 words)
I read Erlend Loe’s Naïve, Super, though, with all of the joy of talking to a new friend who, each time you say something, whispers with a look of amazement “Me, too” and you both can’t believe how much you have in common.
He simplifies his life, quantifying it and compartmentalizing it in an effort to control the small things so as not to be overwhelmed by the endless number of large, life-changing things that are beyond that control.
Loe’s style of writing perfectly complements and, in fact, mirrors the narrator’s style of stilted and isolated action.
