“The text throughout is caustic, demotic and profanity-laden, as though our narrator isn’t some hoary-bearded viking bard sitting by the fireside but a modern guy shooting the breeze with buddies over a beer. The result is a smart, lovingly rendered blend of academia and pastiche.”
—Financial Times

"Hilarious...even if you know a lot about Old Norse mythology, you’ll find its unique take both thought-provoking and insightful. The Norse gods as you’ve never seen them before!”
—Carolyne Larrington, translator of The Poetic Edda and author of The Norse Myths That Shape the Way We Think

The Impudent Edda is a humorous retelling of the Norse myths as conveyed from the insightful perspective of a foul-mouthed drunkard. If you’ve ever wanted to know more about Thor’s temper-tantrum on a public transit system, Odin’s misuse of his smartphone, or Freyja’s mastery of carving cat-themed jack-o-lanterns, then this is the book for you.
