Reviews about Marianne Larsen

Free Composition - Phantom Time
|
|
"Marianne Larsen is one of our most important political poets. She can be intelligent, distinct and totally effortless and transparent in her use of language when talking about children racing pell-mell down the road: "They trip over ads and red tape". In such passages, Marianne Larsen demonstrates her firm convictions in her poetic, political authorship and simultaneously shows what impedes us. Larsen masters this dual grasp of vision and critique, conveyance and obstacle."

Shining chaos
|
|
"Behind its modest appearance "Lysende kaos" (Shining Chaos) is no less than an ambitious search in an extensive linguistic lands-cape to find the obvious and the meaningful, in which is contained the philosopher's stone."

Guests of Each Other - in the 90s
|
|
"The novel draws a perceptive cross-section of a time in which we are in more ways than one guests in our own reality: the border between the artificial and the natural blurs, romantic images of villages replace the desire for roots, pregnancy and birth change into a mixture of tech-nology, ego trips and the new religious, and the only alternative to the golden idyll of the family is auras, cocktails and an eccentric café life. "Age of Panic" is what Marian-ne Larsen calls it. And she does not only refer to Bodil and other contemporaries, but to the '90s, which are coming to an end and which seemingly cast us all into a giant, collec-tive climacteric."
