You need publicity to be able to operate, but you also lose your enchantment if you don't stay away from that publicity. After initially being characterized as 'scandal literature', The Cocka Hola Company became a best-seller in Norway! The author nonetheless possesses the necessary ironic disposition, which is also shown in this novel, not to fall into this trap.
Strange people populate this novel, bad people with no respect for worthwhile values like solidarity or sympathy.
The novel is about a small porno-producing company in the Norwegian capital. Happy porno actors, porno ideologues, families gone astray, misanthropes. Body instead of spirit, 'happiness' instead of thought. Us against the world. All of this is horrid, terribly disgusting, magnificent and entertaining.
Toward the end it looks bad for Simpel the protagonist. He ends up on a talk show.
And everyone loves his misanthropy. Heartlessly, grimly his statements generate thunderous applause. He becomes a star!

Or the cynicism of the less educated or underprivileged, who use pornography to do lucrative business and thereby actively cultivate a hatred of the world? This skeptical question is thrown out by the young Norwegian artist and writer Matias Faldbakken born in in his novel, which has achieved cult status. The title itself lays its cards on the table: The text deals with sex, lies and video, with joy, neuroses and anarchy, and is assuredly not intended to turn the reader into a lover of humanity.
The thoroughly sexualized postmodern existence which Michel Houellebecq described in Competition to Death here gets a Norwegian expression: Whether it be a matter of psycho-jargon or slang, euphoria or unpleasant humor, the author moves among styles and moods with virtuosity….
