novel Til T (To T) cant so much
as manage to go for a picnic in the
woods or serve tea for Granma and
Grandpa when they come round,
and the roles of parents and children
are totally reversed in a book which
is as much a cultural critique as it is a
family drama (see also p. 18).

Katrine Marie
Guldager
in Den ny tid (The New Age), the
third volume in her chronicle of
several generations of a family
from the Danish provincial town
of Kge. Guldagers trilogy began
with the novel Ulven (The Wolf) and
continued with Lille hjerte (Little
Heart) which was acclaimed by
one ecstatic critic as something
quite unique in modern Danish
literature.
Dennis
Gade Kofod
puts a twist on the classic kitchen
sink drama in his novel Genfrd
(Ghost) by taking his grieving central
character into the realms of magic
and the absurd: Frederik checks in
to a hotel a place with a strange
and mysterious air about it, fraught
with bewildering secrets and baffling
family relationships. Minna, the
woman in
Dorthe
Norss
romantic (tragi-)comedy Minna
mangler et velokale (Minna Needs a
Rehearsal Room) also finds life pretty
bewildering. Here we are introduced
to a woman who is trying to get back
on her feet and reconcile herself to
FROM
MARK
the things she feels are missing in
her life such as a rehearsal room in
which to compose her paper sonatas
in peace, a child (but her boyfriend
just broke up with her) and, generally
speaking, a reason for living. Poet
Niels
Frank
makes his fictional debut with Nellies
bog (Nellies Book), an account
of a family visit to the United
States in which he describes the
things his fictional character Nellie
experiences along the way in a
mixture of modern and antiquated
language, of Danish, American and
dialect.
Svend Aage
Madsen
Simon
Pasternaks
Ddszoner (Death Zones), set in
White Russia in July 1943, at the
time of the German massacre
of civilians there. Two boyhood
friends, Manfred and Heinrich,
are serving with the German army.
Manfred thrives in the moral
Crime fiction
Although malicious tongues would
have it that the crime wave is starting
to subside, there is no lack of new
crime novels on the Danish market.

latest crime novel, his fourth, also
takes place in a number of different
countries. In En tid til at d (A Time
to Die) a disgraced Danish army
chaplain comes home from the war
in Afghanistan to a half empty bedsit, an uncertain future and, not least,
to his brother, who has his life all
mapped out. He also has distinctly
shady plans, though, of intervening
in a crisis in the Central African
country of Abu Sidre. The former
chaplain becomes caught up in this
game of intrigue, much against his
will, when his brother disappears
and a blonde assassin shows up on
a remote Danish island. There is a
fourth novel too from
Robert Zola
Christensen
it is the central character, scientist
Theis, whose is dispatched on a
hunt. Is i blodet (Ice in the Blood) is a
scientific crime novel which depicts
the in-fighting between researchers in
Greenland and Alaska, where Theis
is faced with the mass death of the
entire crew of a Greenland research
and a missing girlfriend whom he
absolutely has to find. Newcomer
Jakob
Melander
on the other hand, stays within the
bounds of Denmark in jesten (The
House that Jack Built). Melander
achieved the distinction of having
this, his first novel, sold to several
countries even before it appeared
in Denmark. jesten is a critically
acclaimed crime novel from the
streets of Copenhagen, where a
macabre murder shocks the whole
city. This killing, later to become
known as the Sandman case, proves
Martin
Jensen
namely volumes four and five in
his series on Winston, Halfdan and
Alfilda, snoops and henchmen to
King Canute. These latest two books
in Jensens series set in England
during Viking times are entitled Den
tredje mnt (The Third Coin) and
Svrdets bid (Sword Edge). See also
Books in Brief for more information
on new Danish crime fiction.
Childrens books
A number of Denmarks best known
and most respected writers of adult
fiction have also turned their hands to
childrens books, among them
Katrine Marie
Guldager
who has just published two new
books in her series on Little Miss Fine
Frken Fine skal til fdselsdag (Little
Miss Fine Goes to a Birthday Party)
and Frken Fine har vret p ferie (Little
Miss Fines Holiday). Both of these
concern her relationship with her
best friend Bitte, which is not always
quite the way Little Miss Fine would
like it to be. These books are ideal for
reading aloud or as early readers.
Jens Christian
Grndahl
has also written a childrens book,
his very first, entitled Med bedstemor
i tidens labyrinth (Travelling with
Granny through the Maze of Time)
(see also Books in Brief), while
Jakob
Martin Strid
Rene Toft
Simonsen
has previously written books for older
children, including the popular Karla
series. Just out from her is a new book
for the very small, Tiberius Tudefjs
laver muskler (Tiberius Cry-baby
Muscle-builder) in which Tiberius
runs into trouble at school when some
of the big boys threaten to beat him
up. But how is he to defend himself
when he doesnt have any muscles?
Among this springs offerings for
older readers we find PSSST!, a
graphic novel for girls in their tweens
which looks at the subject of identity
from various angles: Who am I?
Why am I the way I am? What do
I want to do with my life? In twelve
independent chapters
Annette Herzog
& Katrine Clante
Conrad
Fields
In Minusmand (Minus Man) he tells
the story of two friends, Tobias and
Ali who find themselves one day on
opposite sides in a violent conflict.
In Minusmand Fields has written a
tale about identity, friendship and
love and about an underclass that
is seldom addressed in fiction. In
Komats (Coma Chick), a novel for
older teenagers,
Ronnie
Andersen
also gets to grips with the grimmer
side of life. Fourteen-year-old Maj
leads a nomadic existence with her
mother, who has a serious drink
problem. Maj is so sick and tired
of her life that when she falls into
ice-cold water she cannot find the
strength to fight for it and ends up
in a coma.

Erling Jepsen
A Tale
of
Fathers
and
Rabbits
Jutland) is a singular, bittersweet
and at times grotesque depiction
of a tiny community, a family and
the boy Allan who fights the good
fight with his rabbits, with his father
and with his own, quite universal,
coming-of-age loneliness. Erling
Jepsen pulls no punches in his
scathing expos of the mentality
of a small provincial town and
within a family that has turned
secretiveness and denial into a very
distinct art form.
Erling Jepsen (born 1956) made
his debut as a playwright in 1977
and had his big breakthrough as
a novelist in 2002 with Kunsten

Winters Tales, published in 1942, contains some of Karen
Blixens most famous stories. The Danish provinces
provide the backdrop for tales of a more tragically
wistful tone from Blixen, who delves right back into the
childhood and youth of her central characters in search
of the answer to the question of what it is that shapes a
persons identity. Karen Blixen, author of such works as
Seven Gothic Tales and Out of Africa, has been translated
into more than thirty languages.

Jakob Melander
Even before publication a lot of interest was being
shown in first-time author Jakob Melanders
psychological thriller jesten (The House that Jack
Built) and it had already been snapped up by a
number of foreign publishers. Awarding it five stars
out of a possible six, one enthusiastic reviewer called
it a cool Copenhagen crime novel. In Melanders
novel a Second World War romance has disastrous
consequences, the reverberations of which are felt
even in modern-day Copenhagen, where a horrific
murder, later to be known as the Sandman case,
shocks the whole city.

Garff has a voice of his own an informal style and
conversational tone. So said John Updike, writing in
The New Yorker on publication of the English translation
of SAK Sren Aabye Kierkegaard. En biografi (SAK
Sren Aabye Kierkegaard. A Biography). Joakim
Garffs impressive work from 2000 has been translated
into eight languages and now, to tie in with this years
Kierkegaard bicentennial, a new revised version is
being published. Joakim Garff has also just published
Regines gde (The Mystery of Regine), which tells the
story of the strange love affair between the Danish
philosopher and his betrothed, Regine Olsen.

Amir is fed up with school. He cant be bothered
copying letters, and he doesnt like the alphabet, so he
makes up his own, with drawings instead of letters. But
his Mum and Dad dont understand this alphabet so
they cant read his notes nor can they find him on
the day that he suddenly goes missing. Amirs alphabet
(Amirs Alphabet) is the fourth book in writer Morten
Drrs series on new Danish children. These books,
illustrated by Peter Bay Alexandersen, are suitable for
reading aloud to children in the younger classes and
for older children to read themselves.

Sdan begyndte verden (How The World Began) is the
story of science told for children. It describes how
the universe came into being with the Big Bang and
how it evolved from the first stars; how the world
began and how life first formed on Earth; how
mankind developed into the people we are today, into
families and into the very child who, in clear and
instructive words and pictures, is given here a scientific
explanation of the beginning of all things.

in new garb
Can you imagine Goethes young Werther
as a graffiti artist? Hamlet in sunglasses
and black T-shirt? Or Don Quixote astride
a tractor called Rosinante with Sancho
Panza riding alongside on an old moped?
Ask writer Oscar K. and illustrators
Dorte Karrebk and Lilian Brgger
this and the answer will be a loud,
resounding yes. Because these
three have, in fact, used (almost)
every trick in the book, so to speak,
in their work on the new Illustrated
World Literature series.
It is the Danish Teachers
Associations own publishing house,
Dansklrerforeningens Forlag,
which, with a boxed set of six fully
illustrated classics, has allowed a
slice of world literature to escape
from the sealed chamber it normally
inhabits. The aim of the series is to
introduce young readers to such
diverse works as Dostoyevskys
Crime and Punishment, Cervantes
Don Quixote, Raymond Chandlers
The Big Sleep, Voltaires Candide:

in Copenhagen then takes up a post
in Greenland. But he finds it difficult
to adapt to life there, especially
when a rebellion breaks out among
the Christian Greenlanders and
he finds himself torn between
following the Greenlandic dreams of
freedom and enforcing the laws of
Denmark.
Kim Leine (born 1961) made
his literary debut in 2007 with the
novel Kalak, following this with
Valdemarsdag (Valdemars Day) in
2008 and Tunu in 2009.
