Written about Laurbærdialogerne (2021):
“a committed book (…) with a poetic precision that convincingly lets literature confront the most important issues of our time head on”
– Kristeligt Dagblad
“One would gladly invite anyone to go see Frostholm’s oracle”
– Dagbladet Information
“a text that positions itself in the middle of the most urgent matters and it should in principle be read by everyone.”
– Asger Schnack
“A strong, beautiful text that balances in a field between the lyrical and the tragically elegiac with the mythological laurel tree as a strong, pervasive image (…) A small book of high quality.”
– DBC’s editor’s opinion
Laurel mask on cover: Tinne Borgland
