Publish Date: 2007-01-01
Features: The novel narrates the memories and confessions of a Danish young poet born into a declining aristocratic family, who is eccentric and sensitive, to some extent reflecting the author's own life. The novel consists of seventy-one fragmented notes without continuous plot or chronological order. These fragments are united by a common theme—loneliness, fear, illness, death, love, God, creation, etc.
