Has anyone read his collection of short stories, in Norway it has the title "I wish I was an Egyptian"?

"One band, two oil barrels, three chords, four dreams, five lies, six ties, seven deadly sins and eight ways to stay alive. They know who you are, they know where you live, they're the Kaizers Orchestra~"
