With his third book, Peter Adolphsen has accomplished a leap up to a new, heretofore unseen level. The language machine has found a sounding board. It can suddenly handle many different sorts of material and weave them together in surprising ways. A century grows out of these little pages, the stone gives resonance. Rarely has there been so much in so little space.

Brummstein is a pleasure. A small piece of concentrated bitter chocolate that you enjoy the taste of without feeling stuffed afterwards. But a little piece is all you need.

Adolphsen can be read again and again without losing his effect … he weighs the words with milligrammatic precision and formulates his sentences with subtle elegance. His texts unite clarity of thought with the lightness of humor, and – even more importantly – they constantly surprise. Even when he is silly, he is wise, and you can never predict what is waiting beyond the next full stop.
