The Doubter

I shook his shoulder. ‘All right? You all right, Dave? Dave?’ He leaned his head back and closed his eyes hard, as he clenched his fists and started beating them against the wall. ‘We need to get you to a hospital,’ I said. ‘Nah, fuck that. Let’s just get away from here.’ We walked on through the rain. He still limped but seemed a lot less injured than I had feared. He said nothing, and I was silent too. At four o’clock in the morning I dragged him up the staircase and into my hotel room. In December 1979, Thomas returns to suburban Copenhagen after a year in London, where he has been playing organ in a New Wave band. Before long he meets an old school mate, Henrik, and they ...

Anita’s Homecoming

The warm blood trickled over her fingers. His body contracted as he stared at her, a rattling sound passing his lips. Then his knees suddenly caved in and he collapsed in front of her, letting the gun drop onto the floor. She quickly bent down to pick it up. For a moment he lay on the rug staring up at her with profound indignation. It came as no surprise to her. She knew it was a characteristic of psychopaths that for all their ruthlessness towards others, their self-pity was limitless. On a cold and clammy day in March 1948, Anita Gerholdt lands at Copenhagen Airport. She is travelling under a false name, and in her suitcase she carries a gun. Since the war she has worked for the British i...

Hitler's Nordic Ally?

Finland was the only nation with an elected and democratic government to fight on the German side in WWII. Despite being small, poorly armed and made up of conscripts, the Finnish army was probably the most effective fighting force at the time, managing with practically no outside help to keep the mighty Red Army at bay for more than three months during the Winter War of 1939-40. In 1944, the devastating Soviet mass attack against the Finnish Army involved the largest artillery assault of the entire WWII theater of operations up until this point. Nevertheless, the Finns eventually managed to halt the attack. Most English books on Finland in WWII concentrate on the brief Winter War and make v...

By now the sun was up, and through the periscope he minded he could see the stony plateau in front of the position. On the other side of it were the outskirts of the jungle where the enemy was hiding and building his camps, preparing for new attacks.

French Indochina in the early 1950’s: a badly wounded private in the Foreign Legion, registered under a false name, is admitted to a military hospital. From here w...

Med munden

Brittas liv er som så mange andre fra 68-generationen endt helt anderledes, end hun havde håbet. Hun er blevet en småborgerlig rappenskralde, der lever i et kedeligt ægteskab, som er resulteret i tre apatiske børn, som hverken kan bruge sig selv eller deres forældre til særligt meget. Fra sit arbejdsværelse på første sal i familiens lille landhus overvåger Britta verden udenfor, og efterhånden som hendes historier om menneskene omkring hende blandes med erindringsbilleder og refleksioner, tegner der sig et billede af en forfærdelig tilværelse, der burde have set helt anderledes ud. Den danske forfatter Claes Johansen (f. 1957) debuterede i 1986 med "Frygtelige Vera og andre noveller". Sidenhen er det blevet til et væld af bøger, der strækker sig over genrer som børnebøger, historiske romaner, noveller, voksenbøger og romaner.
