While the document may be labeled 1986, much of what he described was from the 50s-70s. And quite a bit of it is no longer valid, thanks to changes pushed both from above and below.
Hopefully people will take the age of the writing into consideration. As someone who has learned about Norway over the past several years, it was very interesting to read this account.
That was fairly obvious to me upon reading. I've learned enough of the history to be able to place some of the events. It is very true that a lot is no longer valid, but it is still interesting to read how some of the stuff has changed and how that sort of thing shaped the author's impression of living here.
