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

[Birgitte · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jeg læste ikke rigtig med fornøjelse. Romanen er som en antropologisk registrering af en sommerdag på vestkysten. Om biler, softice og lagkage, om små hunde og børn, om sand. Og om mange forskellige strandgæster. Deres handlinger og interaktion registreres som noget ydre, hvad kommer de mig ved ? Hvem er disse mennesker ? Romanen virker mere på mig som et dygtigt modernistisk formeksperiment end som en appellerende roman.
