“Kritikken af parforholdsidealerne med deres tilhørende stigmatisering af singler er ætsende, knivskarp og morsom.” & “Tafdrup er ikke kun god til den vanskelige kunst at skildre erotik (…) faktisk rammer Tafdrup allermest plet, når han zoomer ind på hverdagslige situationer, hvor han med alle sanser overbeviser læseren.” – Dag Heede.

Lektørudtalelse

En stor dag! Uden om de store etablerede forlag er min roman blevet tildelt en lektørudtalelse og anbefalet ud til samtlige af landets biblioteker... Der må citeres 10% fra den, så her er et lille udpluk:

“Det er en stort anlagt fortælling med megen fortælleglæde. Daniel Tafdrup har rigtig meget på hjerte, og diskuterer personlig frihed både på det konkrete plan og i mere essayistisk form.”

“Jeg har i øvrigt besluttet mig til at turde sige alt, hvad jeg har mod til at gøre i handling, ja, selv tanker, som ikke må komme frem, må jeg misbillige. Den sletteste handling og karakteregenskab hos mig forekommer mig slet ikke at være nær så styg som den lumpenhed, det er ikke at turde kendes ved den.”
