The 14 stories in this collection display the often quiet, inconspicuous way in which terrible truths and experiences are intimated: the death of a sailboarder makes a widower see deeper into love and loss; a young poet visits his former teacher only to discover he is literally not the person he used to be; a middle-aged man glimpses the terrible humdrum of his third marriage as his son embarks on a new chapter in his life. Conveyed without grandeur or pathos, the revelations in these minimalist stories demonstrate clearly and effectively Fruelund's gift of subtlety and nuance; like scenes from life, characters' dramas are played out in brief but brilliant flashes. Ranging across the wide arc of human experience, from the comic to the tragic, each piece explores the complex emotions of the human heart.

Borgerlig skymning

By: Simon Fruelund

Borgerlig skymning består av en rad porträtt av invånare i en fiktiv förort till Köpenhamn. På Dantes allé får läsaren möta prästen, läkaren, flygvärdinnan bland många andra. I kvarteret på andra sidan mossen lever taxichauffören, bidragstagaren, och flyktingfamiljen. Det är en bok om danskarnas och nydanskarnas förhållande till religion, död, familj, sex och till den andre. Det är en bok om livet i en dansk förort, men är lika aktuell i det svenska samhället. Boken har legat på danska bestsellerlistan och är även översatt till bl.a. engelska och italienska. "Vad Perec behöver femhundra sidor för att bli färdig med klarar Fruelund av på drygt hundra ... som dessutom är glest satta." Dagens bok "Simon Fruelund har träffsäkert skrivit den lilla danska samtidsromanen ... sannerligen imponerande." Weekendavisen "Varenda mening är så insiktsfull, välkomponerad och narrativ att det är en fröjd att ta sig igenom texten." Euroman "Det står en hel massa på dessa 113 små sidor. Inte minst mellan raderna. Man ler, skrattar och skakas också en aning." Ekstra bladet "Med en bländande författarförmåga ger Simon Fruelund korta men skarpa och insiktsfulla porträtt av människor i ett villakvarter." Kristeligt dagblad

Stieg Larsson: Author of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

By: Noelle Angelica Simon

After taking his home country by storm with the Millennium trilogy, Swedish author Stieg Larsson went on to capture the imagination of the rest of the world. Hardcore fans, of which there are thousands-maybe even more-need no further introduction. However, even if you haven't read his books, you have probably heard of them anyway, as successful movie versions have already been created. The latest release, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, specifically the American version with Daniel Craig top billing as Mikael Blomkvist, has proven itself a box office hit. Stieg Larsson may have known that his books would be successful, but he probably had no idea about the actual magnitude their fame would achieve. After all, with only three books published out of the several he had in mind, he has already gained worldwide acclaim.
