Grand Danois

by Daniel Dencik

Ni noveller, der undersøger ensomhedens facetter, muligheder og umuligheder. De handler om at dø alene, hvilket vi alle skal, om vores jagt efter mening i en meningsløs verden, om vores forsøg på at holde sammen ved hjælp af sex. Bogen er i sin undersøgelse af ensomhedens væsen muligvis en modgift mod den.

I didn't like the first short story at all, and I thought to myself it was going to be 8 long short stories I had yet to read, but I actually ended up really enjoying the others! Some more than others ofc, but they were a great break & fresh breath of air in the middle of reading kind of heavy books for university & work.

Kul med en novellsamling och på det stora hela gillade jag dem även om många hade lite samma typ av karaktärer med lite tveksam kvinnosyn. Jag gillar att författaren utforskar temat ensamhet på olika sätt.

A couple of great short stories and a few I didnt care for. But I’d buy a Dencik book again, for sure! Close to being a 4 star.
