Part of a long series of novels about the author's alter ego, Espen Arnakke, a sailor from Jante, Denmark, begun in 1931 and continuing to 1938. He explores his irrational act of murdering a friend who seduced his girlfriend. This part is set in the small narrow-minded Danish village he calls 'Yoknapatawpha' where Espen explores his childhood to find out who he is.

Law of Jante:

You're not to...
think you're anything special.
think you're as good as we are.
think you're smarter than we are.
convince yourself you're better than we are.
think you know more than we do.
think you're more important than we are.
think you're good at anything.
laugh at us.
think anyone cares about you.
think you can teach us anything.

An 11th rule - the penal code of Jante - Perhaps you don't think we know a few things about you?
