This witty family saga replete with love and folly is proof enough that this young Dane belongs to a great family of Scandinavian narrators. In exploring the past of a country whose ideas have sometimes veered towards the nightmarish, he reminds us that dreams my also stir the conscience. (Télérama)
My thoughts (hastily scribbled on a postcard):
Beautiful, elegant, thoughtful - even if there is a loss of momentum in the last pages. A fine example of attempting to understand history and oneself by writing (examining) it, no matter - in a sense - what you write.
