There's something very endearing about these essays by the late, great Knud S nderby, which have been translated into English for the first time by Michael Goldman. Among the highlights in this fine collection are bittersweet reflections about owning a boat, musings about darkness and the sound of the wind in West Jylland, and observations about the people S nderby encounters on his travels across the picturesque Danish landscape. Full of deft humor and thoughtful introspection, Fragments of a Mirror offers up glittering shards of Knud S nderby at his finest.
Nicholas Litchfield, author of Swampjack Virus, editor of Lowestoft Chronicle
Knud S nderby is a master of language, a poetic realist and a refined memoirist. His essays express a very Danish relationship to reality, characterized by his humorous, evocative tone and his delightful observations of this unique Scandinavian country.
Peter Gadman, author of Knud S nderbys Forfatterskab
