The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi (1986)
An interesting essay from a first account witness of the holocaust and closely related to Zygmunt Bauman's
Modernity and the Holocaust from 1989. Primo Levi was an Italian Jew who spend eleven months in Auschwitz, later liberated by the red army, who later committed suicide.
Not for the faint of heart and a really important reflection on one of the biggest tragedies of the twentieth century.
Third-Millennium Heart by Ursula Andkjćr Olsen (2012)
Ursula Andkjćr Olsen is my favorite Danish poet writing today and Third-Millennium Heart is essentially a feminist work, encompassing the writers fury in the war between nature and culture.
Highly recommended.
Autoportrait by Édouard Levé (2005)
Suicide by Édouard Levé (2008)
Autoportrait is an interesting way of writing memoirs and as such closely related to Levé's later novel; Suicide, from 2005, but it lacks the latters depth of reflection. I was later told that Autoportrait is used in writing schools when writing memoirs, because it is a good way to start writing by using simple sentences and facts.
All in all both books are interesting, though i find Suicide a lot more impressive in terms of reflection and subject matter.
Occurrence In The Immediate Unreality by Max Blecher (1936)
A very sensitive and lyrical coming of age novel by Romanian novelist Max Blecher. A very interesting but difficult read which i am still digesting. I am really looking forward to reading his sanatorium novel Scarred Hearts from 1937.
Efter solen (After the Sun) by Jonas Eika Rasmussen (2018)
A really cool but odd selection of Danish Sci-fi short stories from one of my favorite publishers. Closely related and inspired by one of my favorite writers; William S. Burroughs. Both writers, writes incredible well and as such they are both similar to a lucid dream.
Highly recommended if you are in to feverish dreams and odd hallucinations.
