Norway's Easter Tradition: A Retreat into Crime Fiction
In Norway, Easter is marked by a unique tradition known as 'paskekrim,' where people retreat to cabins to indulge in crime fiction. This tradition began with the 1923 novel 'Bergenstoget plyndret i nat,' which became popular due to a clever marketing strategy. Today, Norwegians celebrate by reading crime novels and watching crime series, with this year's highlight being Netflix's 'Detective Hole.' The tradition is so ingrained that it influences travel patterns, with many opting for secluded getaways to enjoy their crime stories.
