Nov 4,2010 at Jessica's - "Out Stealing Horses" by Per Petterson

For our third selection of the six-month topic of "Scandinavian Authors" we are reading "Out Stealing Horses." This coming of age novel in the harsh Norwegian countryside  was first published in 2003, and voted "One of the best ten books of the year" by the New York Times Book Review.
   If you have read, or are reading this, or have any other comments, we'd love to see them. Just click on the "comments" button :)   We now have 'reactions' buttons which right now are "funny," "interesting," or "cool."
Thanks for looking!!

Help -- Anybody know what's on the porch?

I can't figure out something that is described in KO Dahl's novel "The Last Fix." The question is about the "Palace."

When  goes to Frølich goes to Gunnarstranda's country cabin for barbecue,Gunnarstranda is sitting on the porch rolling cigarettes. To his right is something with a cap and arms, but it's never explained what it is.

This is in the chapter called "Palace" which is what Gunnarstranda calls the cabin.

Thanks for any help.
