| Plot Summary of Naive. Super |
|---|
"Naive. Super is the story of a 25 year old Norwegian man who quits his studies and moves into his brother's apartment while his brother is in America. He begins pondering time after reading a book about time and physics. He decides to simplify his life, and begins to spend his time playing with a small plastic ball, hammering pegs into a board, faxing with his meteorologist friend and making lists. He ends up traveling to America to spend time with his brother, where they sightsee, play, and ultimately become closer. This is a thought provoking book about a man struggling to find himself."
Margaret Dorer, Resident Scholar
