How to Be Danish

A Journey to the Cultural Heart of Denmark

About this book

Part reportage, part travelogue, this is a fascinating introduction to contemporary Danish culture for anyone who wants to know more about the happiest nation in the world. Denmark is the country of the moment. The motherland of Borgen and The Killing, it's the runaway champion of Eurovision, and home to Noma, the world's most eccentric restaurant.But though we wear their sweaters and read their thrillers, how much do we really know about the Danes themselves? Part reportage, part travelogue, How to be Danish fills in the gaps – an introduction to contemporary Danish culture that spans politics, television, food, architecture and design. Welcome to the happiest country in the world.
