With vodka, dynamite, murder, an elephant, and Einstein’s brother, Allan Karlsson will take you on two incredible, absurdly brilliant, escapades. The exploits he gets up to aged 100 are nothing compared to the preceding years he spent ambling across the globe meeting world leaders and being involved in major historical events. Highly entertaining, wry and dark, suspend your disbelief and jump straight into this screwball romp. A delight to read.
