But also and mainly: Read the novel AND watch Bela Tarr's adaption of it, 7 1/2 hours and not a minute or a second too long

I have written about Satantango, his masterpiece, in the article "Destroying necessity with necessity – on László Krasznahorkai’s Satantango" (www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....) - I will be happy to share a pdf!

Det her er jo vanvittigt. Et dansk folketingsmedlem, der bortføres militært af en fremmed magt i et åbenlyst brud på folkeretten. Hvordan kan vi opretholde almindelige diplomatiske forbindelser med et sådan forbryderisk regime.

The world is crossing the 1.5°C global warming limit, perhaps exceeding 2°C soon after. What is to be done when these boundaries, set by the Paris Agreement, have been passed? In the overshoot era, sc...

När jag får frågan vad man ska läsa, vilket händer ofta, brukar jag bli tom på tips. Så här ett tips. Detta är China Miéville, ett författarskap jag hade turen att upptäcka för att en vän och kritiker kollega pratade om hans litteratur och genast fångade mitt intresse.
