Summary

Meet Ole Mbatian Jr., a Maasai warrior; Kevin, his sort-of-son; Agneta, a wronged and penniless ex-wife; and Johan, an unscrupulous Stockholm ad-man who has set up a company specialising in revenge services. As Agneta and Kevin seek revenge against the gallery owner who has wronged them, this madcap, funny and philosophical novel takes us on a journey that spans four continents and will introduce us to a colourful cast of characters, including a goat called Molly ... and the Pope. Along the way, it travels in time, drops in a few lessons on colonialism and art history, and pokes fun at capitalism, the art world and greed - with plenty of laughs
