How to Be Danish: A Journey to the Cultural Heart of Denmark Hardcover - 2014
by Patrick Kingsley
Summary
Part reportage, part travelogue, this is a fascinating introduction to contemporary Danish culture for anyone who wants to know more about the worldâÈçs happiest nation.
Denmark is the country of the moment. The motherland of the TV series Borgen and The Killing, itâÈçs the runaway champion of Eurovision and home to Noma, the worldâÈçs most eccentric restaurant.
But though we wear their sweaters and read their thrillers, how much do we really know about the Danes themselves? How to be Danish fills in the gaps as an introduction to current Danish culture that spans politics, TV, food, architecture, and design.
Welcome to the happiest country on Earth.
