Has anyone read this book? I just finished it and loved it to pieces. Well, for fuck's sake, it's Swedish and about coming of age and pop music. It screamed "Tag would like this" from every page. I wish I'd grown up in early 70s Lappland.

Yep, read it last week (in Norwegian). Loved the wedding in particular.

Curious: what's the word used in the English translation for the pre-/non-distilled stuff they used in the drinking contest?

It's referred to as "mash".

I trust the Norwegian edition doesn't call him the "Nick Hornby of the Arctic". Huh?
