On the Philosophy of ABBA & the Toltecs (or my life as Olof Palme) is an energetic book, full of creative energy and fun.

D., the book’s main character and narrator has just passed twenty. He tells us about himself and his friends, the ups and downs of their love life and dealings with the opposite sex, their ideas about the world they live in and their hopes for the future. The storytelling is packed with witty references to philosophy, literature, politics and music, always laced with a keen sense of humour.

On the Philosophy of ABBA & the Toltecs (or my life as Olof Palme) is a treat of a book where the reader can get a close-up look at the younger generation in Reykjavík, seen through the eyes of “one of the flock”. A generation that longs to take a break from the smartphone and truly become a better version of the previous generation.
