Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd.: The latest hilarious feel-good Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd.: The latest hilarious feel-good

By Jonas Jonasson (translated by Rachel Willson-Broyles) is a thought-provoking comedy from this Swedish author. You can tell from just the title of his first novel, “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared,” a book that has sold millions of copies worldwide. As he's done in his previous novels, Jonas Jonasson acts as a travel guide through time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism and the art world, supplying plenty of laughs along the way.

Farce and ridiculousness is all well and good when there is wit and a kind of cleverness to the chaos, but this book lacked either of these.Books | ‘Sweet Sweet Revenge LTD’ author Jonas Jonasson talks laughter, tears and making the world better 'My first book looked at the shortcomings of the whole 20th century because my ambition was to remind people of them so we would not repeat them. Africa is nothing more than a complete backwater whose inhabitants barter with chickens, practice nonsensical customs and are duped by traditional medicine men. The crazy plot is let down by it's author who decides to just jump from one subplot to other without investing in characters. This one involves a lazy sycophant who finagles his way to inherit an art gallery, including marrying the owner's daughter, invests in bad art, and dumps her as soon as possible.

Enter Hugo who runs Sweet Sweet Revenge - an enterprise trying to capitalise on the promising market of revenge. Flynn’s success in getting under the skin of two such different characters – in a far from happy marriage – is impressive. Jonasson started off as a journalist in Sweden then built a media company before burning out and deciding to try his hand at fiction.And he wished with all his might that one of his bombs would find its target and rid the world of this unspeakable evil. After some craziness, including the looming threat of circumcision, the son flees Africa for Sweden, where he meets the ex-wife now living in the apartment he occupied. I was also introduced to artists whose work was destroyed mainly by Hitler's contempt towards Impressionism but was able to view a few paintings that remained. Amidst the hilarious tone from the scenes that unravel you will end up thinking about what is it that drives people to make judgements about others different from you.

I would have appreciated this if it served to deliver fuller, more well-rounded characters (even if they were still Jonasson’s usual eccentric brand), but sadly most of them remained quite flat throughout.Los personajes son tan caricaturizados como la prosa del autor, ninguno se acerca ni un poco a la realidad, pero el mismo libro y tono de este lo justifica. As a student of literature, I’d learnt many many years ago about the “willing suspension of disbelief” that enables appreciation and enjoyment of art, that is so often, a subjective expression.
