Et ansigt til Emily

Rate this book
Et ansigt til Emily handler om Rosa og Emily. Rosa og Emily elsker hinanden, men de savner også noget. Rosa savner sin afdøde far. Emily længes efter Daniel, som har været død i tusind år, og prøver at udfylde tomrummet med Arkitekten, Arkæologen, Lægen, Præsten osv. Et ansigt til Emily handler om forskellen på det, man vil have og det man har brug for, det man længes efter og begærer, og det man ikke kan få.

Kan inte påstå att jag förstod så mycket, handlingen flög över huvudet på mig.

Kan virkelig godt lide, men ved ikke hvor meget jeg ægte forstår, sproget er så flot og så er det andet ikke så vigtigt

Smukt ord - og billedehav. Hurtigt læst med spændende elementer fra nutiden, fortiden og fremtiden.

En lyrisk roman før disse blev populære 😍

What makes a novel? Is this a novel? Yes, it is.
Sadly, the book had too many themes (Present, Past, Future. Unrequited love. Longing for something, being oblivious of the things right in front of us) and genres (short prose, drama dialogue, diary, epistal) to have a common thread, except for the main characters. The story becomes too abstrac and with a part, that doesn't fit in.
I like the experimentation, but it doesn't cross the finish line. Also, knowing that the book was partial and that the author had continued the story on her blog - which no longer exists - makes the book somewhat incomplete. Hence the low rating.

Mystisk assemblage af rejsedagbøger og breve der alligevel fortætter sig til en fortælling om livslyst og kærlighed. Tror jeg. Måske lidt rodet undervejs, men hurtigt læst og med mange fine linjer der hænger ved.

Ret abstrakt, men den var altså helt vild god alligevel. Den skal læses og det har jeg også tænkt mig at gøre igen, på et tidspunkt.

This year there are 24 water lilies which answers to the 24 ribs in the body.

Personally I prefer some of Nordenhofs other poems from her new book more, especially since I don't know if I was that into this format but I did love it. Mostly the parts about Emily and Rosa, I found the middle part about Rosas dad mostly uninteresting.
Love Nordenhof though, I totally get how/why she has gotten the status as one of the front runners of modern Danish poetry.
