Journal Entry 3 by pulcherrima from Tommerup Stationsby, Fyns Amt Denmark on Wednesday, August 05, 2009
Jeg takker mange gange for den bogpakke der ventede på mig, da jeg kom hjem fra min ferie til Paris.
Denne bog kunne jeg godt selv tænke mig at læse, så det vil jeg lige overveje om jeg skal. Jeg ved endnu ikke om den senere frislippes på den OBCZ der allerede eksisterer, eller om den måske skal med i den kasse, jeg har planer om at medbringe på universitetsbaren, i et forsøg på at starte en forhåbentlig mere aktiv zone op der.

This book has been waiting on the shelves for such a long time - and what a shame. I read it in a few hours, and found it very beautiful.
I read Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell a few months ago and I really like the way the same characters appear in different settings (and times) and enhance the universal dilemmas. It works very well in this play/novella, so maybe Mitchell got his inspiration from this?
