A few of the stories I just didn't understand at all

Some of the stories were good; some of them seem interesting but I didn't understand what they're about at all. The writing is good, and the ideas of the story were interesting, but some of it just didn't make sense, like the story is lacking a rationale to exist.

Strange, refreshing characters

Each story features an unforgettable situation inhabited by quirky, self possessed Swedes. Very unique perspective on complex human interactions.
