The illiterate who saved the king and the kingdom to boot | Thalia

Another surprisingly funny book with a surprisingly long title from the most witty writer in Sweden. Nombeko Mayeki was unlucky to be born in the early sixties in South Africa during the heyday of apartheid, where her inner circle, the black goldsmiths of Soweto, was mainly engaged in two things - 'slowly kill himself and walk say goodbye to those who have already succeeded. ' But Nombeko is an unusual girl, her ability to assimilate new information is second only to her craving for knowledge. Having learned to read and write, she first becomes the head of the sewage disposal sector 'B' of Soweto, and then completely leaves the slums, following the dream - to get into the National Library of Pretoria. But instead she turns out to be a prisoner of the super-secret military base Pelinda, with which, however, she also manages to escape, but not somewhere, but to Sweden itself ... 'The illiterate who saved the king and the kingdom to boot' is the second novel by Yunas Junasson, the author of the acclaimed bestseller 'One Hundred Years and a Suitcase of Money in the Bargain.' Admirers of the talent of the Swedish writer will find in the new novel all the characteristic features of Junasson's corporate style: unusually bright, memorable characters, dashing plot twists and, of course, a cocktail of irony, satire and absurd humor that is unlike anything else. The novel has been translated into 28 languages ​​and has sold 3 million copies worldwide.
