Ellas

Post by neo_cortex » Sat Dec 20, 2014 11:39 pm

Oscar wakes up in Eli's apartment and on page 295 he remembers:
That her real name was ... Elias. Ellas. A boy's name.
Ellas
?

Is this supposed to be in Spanish, is it another way to say "Elias" in Swedish or what is it ?

That "Ellas" is a typo. In the Swedish original, its Elias both times.
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist
