A Piece of Danish Happiness

A Piece of Danish Happiness | Sharmi Albrechtsen

I just signed up to #ReadingEurope2020, and I‘m excited! 🙌

@BarbaraBB asked for inspiration for Danish authors, so I thought I would compile a little sample of both classic and contemporay Danish authors, that I have read a liked/loved. There‘s a lot of crime/mystery writers in Denmark, but that‘s not my genre, so you‘ll have to find those for yourself 😅

List of authors in the comments 👇

Librarybelle

Kalalalatja 1. Hans Christian Andersen - read his fairytales!
2. Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) - most known for Out of Africa
3. Hans Scherfig - The Stolen Spring is the only book I had to read in High School Danish, that I ended up loving
4. Jakob Ejersbo - his Africa trilogy is considered a bit of a masterpiece in Denmark
5. Lene Kaaberbøll - YA Fantasy writer
6. Olga Ravn - contemporay, poetic, and a bit weird 5y

Crazeedi Thank you so much for the list! Very helpful to me for the challenge ❤ 5y

Kalalalatja Other noteworthy Danish authors (but not really my jam): Helle Helle, Dorthe Nors and Naja Marie Aidt - very Nordic, very contemporary, very minimalistic, very Danish 🇩🇰 5y
