A WITTY, INFORMATIVE, AND POPULAR TRAVELOGUE ABOUT THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES AND HOW THEY MAY NOT BE AS HAPPY OR AS PERFECT AS WE ASSUME
Journalist Michael Booth has lived among the Scandinavians for more than ten years, and he has grown increasingly frustrated with the rose-tinted view of this part of the world offered up by the Western media. In this timely book he leaves his adopted home of Denmark and embarks on a journey through all five of the Nordic countries to discover who these curious tribes are, the secrets of their success, and, most intriguing of all, what they think of one another.
Why are the Danes so happy, despite having the highest taxes? Do the Finns really have the best education system? Are the Icelanders as feral as they sometimes appear? How are the Norwegians spending their fantastic oil wealth? And why do all of them hate the Swedes? In The Almost Nearly Perfect People Michael Booth explains who the Scandinavians are, how they differ and why, and what their quirks and foibles are, and he explores why these societies have become so successful and models for the world. Along the way a more nuanced, often darker picture emerges of a region plagued by taboos, characterized by suffocating parochialism, and populated by extremists of various shades. They may very well be almost nearly perfect, but it isn't easy being Scandinavian.
Michael Booth is the author of five works of non-fiction, including The Almost Nearly Perfect People. His writing appears regularly in The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, The Telegraph, and Condé Nast Traveler magazine, among many other publications globally. He is the Copenhagen correspondent for Monocle magazine and Monocle 24 radio, and travels regularly to give talks and lectures on the Nordic lands and their peculiar, nearly perfect people. He lives in Denmark with his wife and two sons.

写得真好啊。 在阿猫阿狗都在公共场合发表虚无缥缈的言论或作品的今天,我险些忘记了严肃写作的魔力。当然把这本书称为严肃作品都有些委屈,那些毫不费力的机灵散落在全书各处,往往在我认真标记着数据、咀嚼着采访对象用词的下一秒,就为作者反政治正确的刻薄爆发出真实的大笑...
評分 評分我乐此不疲讲的一个奚落英国人的笑话,是Maggie告诉我的。当年她在伦敦驻站,上班的时候挤地铁,温文尔雅礼貌大方的Maggie小姐要下车的时候,对身边一位英国大妈说“Excuse me”,当时地铁上人稍微多了一点(大概也就是北京六号线的十分之一吧),结果大妈一皱眉头,一口伦敦腔...
