Things must be really popping off after that Nobel Prize just the 101 years ago.

Read that book this summer, it really is a masterpiece. Perhaps the best Danish book I ever read

My girlfriend bought that on a trip to London, is it worth reading?

From the quotes I'd say so I've yet to pick it up.

Have you read Josephine Klougart btw? There is a copy of this in the 2nd hand bookshop nearest to me.

Yeah, read her first two books, though not that one. Nope, don't like them. But she's probably a pretty good representation of a certain kind of Danish literature.
