The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe, or Tom Cruise Jesus Christ That's a Long Title

Hej! This episode we explore the labyrinths of Swedish furniture and literary translation with Alexz C., translator and cat lady extraordinaire, who recommends The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir Who Got Trapped in an IKEA Wardrobe by Romain Puertolas. Join us as we discuss this portrayal of the European migrant crisis and the economy of translation. Is this novel a read or a roast? And is the IKEA POÄNG chair really worth it?
