When I fly Norwegian I am reconnected with literature which has described Scandinavian cultures for centuries. Lately, I flew with a plane that had a large image of Aksel Sandemose and his name printed on its tail. He was the one who coined the term "Janteloven" which is something all Scandinavians suffer from to various degrees.
I have also flown with Selma Lagerlöf who wrote the fantastic story about a little mischievous boy who gets flown across Sweden by a flock of geese.
Being reminded of these great writers makes me enjoy the journey a little more. And if I can't remember who they are, I make use of the free in-flight Wifi to look them up.
Do you enjoy Scandinavian authors and which ones?
