description: The main character, like the title says, is a mysterious guy. Nagel arrives in a Norwegian town with plenty of money &amp; goodwill. Tho kind of an eccentric, he seems to start to fit in with the local crowd. But it's almost as if Nagel only just landed on Earth, &amp; while he wishes to live correctly, has no idea how to do it. Published at the end of the last century, Mysteries is an existentialist novel, very strange, often very funny, often sad &amp; asking the question, "Why live?"
