It's probably one if those cases where you had to have been there. I
was there, but I was only seven years old. I assume that the director
was making some point, since he made a big deal out of showing the
book to the viewer. But, we'll never know what that point was.

And what was up with the albino guy, described as a "deaf-mute," who
ostentatiously reads a "Superman" comic book, whenever he's not doing
anything else?

That movie is full of Swedish-eaque symbolism! :-)
