Spotted lurking in the shadows at IKEA in Red Hook, Brooklyn, shelved between a chilling Stieg Larsson thriller and a delightful Astrid Lindgren children’s book, we spied the ultimate Swedish cultural link: SWEDISH SENSATIONSFILMS: A Clandestine History of Sex, Thrillers, and Kicker Cinema, by Daniel Ekeroth.

Meatballs and lingonberry sauce were only the beginning! IKEA clearly knows that the furniture business is all about selling a dream. Even battle-tested New Yorkers want bedrooms filled with easy blondes and non-stop midnight skinny dipping with starlet Christina Lindberg (who wrote the book’s foreword). Please submit photos of Ekeroth’s previous book, Swedish Death Metal, if you spot that in the wild.
