About the author

Danish author. Has mainly written novels and short stories. Peter Seeberg characterised as a young poet his authorship as "Esoteric and of spartan nature, with few motifs, if there is more than the one - fundamental egocentric - than the will of reaching the bottom in the bottomless". Seeberg's début happened during the breakthrough of modernism in Danish literature in the 50's. This was with the slightly special novel "Bipersonerne" (1956). Peter Seeberg, whose authorship circulated around the strict modernistic consciousness of man's strangeness, has with its vision of History's entropy as a utopia shown itself as the great confirmation.

Reviews

[Henrik Stub · Rating 3 out of 5]

Novellesamling, der er meget svingende. Men når den er god er den fantastisk. Højdepunkter er historien om en gravhund, det bliver vild med agurk. Og så særligt historien om slægten, der i to generationer ikke hopper på at skulle have lagt el ind. Hovedargumentet: Det er bare noget skidt med alt det lys.

Bogen starter mobidt og meget lovende, men bliver derefter kedeligere.

Det mobide fastholdes hele vejen igenne. Vi følger mennesker, der er i deprimerende situationer, og hvor der næppe er nogen god løsning i sigte. Dette tema bliver også lidt for penslet ud, det bliver for meget til en “stil”, “form”.
