Description
#2 Amazon Bestseller in Scandinavian Literature · National Bestseller in Norway (June 2025)
Discover 55 weird but wonderfully Norwegian things — from how Norwegians talk (or don’t), to their love of cabins, dugnads, frozen pizza, and awkward small talk. Divided into lively sections on work life, family life, food, alcohol, and more, this book offers a funny and revealing look at the habits, values, and quirks that make Norway unlike anywhere else.
Written by bestselling author and VG columnist Lorelou Desjardins, How to Be Norwegian combines humor, cultural insight, and real-life stories to help you finally understand what it means to think, live, and maybe even feel Norwegian.
