[Nils Jacob Holt Hanssen]

Yes, I’m sure the “Jante law” will seem like a very strange concept to Americans, and probably many other non-Scandinavians as well. But come to think of it, doesn’t John Williams himself actually represent it, to a certain extent, with his humble and unassuming personality, and annoyance with too much attention? As I mentioned in the review, it looks like this is not an act, but actually how he feels. But of course, in his case, it’s probably just that – a part of his personality, and not caused by any cultural conditioning, as would often be the case in Scandinavia.
