It’s
Norwegian week on Crime Always Pays, people, and courtesy of the lovely people at Faber and Faber we have three copies of K.O. Dahl’s
THE FOURTH MAN and
THE MAN IN THE WINDOW to give away. First, the blurb elves on THE FOURTH MAN:
In the course of a routine police raid, Detective Inspector Frank Frolich of the Oslo Police saves Elizabeth Faremo from getting inadvertently caught in crossfire. By the time he learns that she is the sister of Jonny Faremo, wanted member of a larceny gang, it is already too late – he is obsessed. Suspected, suspended and blindly in love, Frolich must find out if he is being used before his life unravels beyond repair.
Lovely jubbly. To be in with a chance of winning a brace of K.O. Dahl novels, just answer the following question.
Is The Muppet Show’s Swedish Chef known in Norway as:
(a) The Swedish Chef;
(b) The Danish Chef;
(c) The Italian Chef;
(d) I preferred Sesame Street, actually, but I’d really like some free books.
Answers via the comment box, with a contact email address (using (at) rather than @ to confound the spam-munchkins), before noon on Thursday, June 26.
Et bon chance, mes amis …
The correct answer is A. But the true answer is D, of course.

In Norway he's still called the Swedish Chef. In Sweden however, he's called the Norwegian Chef.

Well, he certainly isn't Swedish with that awful mock-Swedish manner of speech, so he must be known in Norway as a). I prefer the Muppets, but can't speak for my daughters
ReplyDeleteOh well, more than three above me, just as well as I haven't a clue of the answer. And I need to read his previous books first anyway. Just trying to make myself feel better ;-) (not too harsh or dominatrix-like, either, more of a softly softly comment.)
ReplyDeleteDo the norwegians like Glenfiddich?
ReplyDeleteWho's he?
ReplyDeleteI don't have an effing clue what he's called. I just know he's all kinds'a funny! But, that's not why I'm throwing my name in the hat. I want to read about someplace COLD! The Texas Panhandle is nowhere for a delicate flower like me to be in the summer!
