North Cape
by Pedro Bravo
The adventure of an antisocial character who is angry with the world. A man who travels North in search of something, even though he's not very sure what he is after. It doesn't matter. Or maybe it does. Along the way he bumps into brave Viking women, sea currents capable of crushing a bear, the Norwegian Monty Python, a tribe that resists colonisation, sharks that have not yet reached sexual maturity, eternauts who travel carrying miniatures of Lenin, fathers who rob banks, shamans devoted to Philip K. Dick and even a drunken but lucid Miles Davis. On the borderline between a chronicle and an autobiography, Pedro Bravo begins his journey in Å, the quietest village in Norway (and probably in the whole the world), and ends, or so he thinks, in the northernmost point of continental Europe.
