Reports from Planet Death
Kvanvig, Gerd: Meldinger fra DødsklodenREPORTS FROM PLANET DEATH is a collection of testimonies from a humanity threatened by extinction. There are reports of life, of beauty and blessings, of murder and destruction, of grief and loneliness and love. There are reports indicating that hope might be lost, but that we will never give up. And there are reports of a kiss, and a silent song in the night.
Praise for REPORTS FROM PLANET DEATH:
“a beautiful tale of the fall of civilization … smart, stylish and intense”
(Klassekampen)
"The vision of the end of the world is alive and well. Gerd Kvanvig has made her contribution in the form of an intense, poetic and critical novel … This is literature with a message about our times and our uncertain future, with seriousness and irony in an equal mix."
(Dag og Tid)
”Kvanvig writes of happiness, of loneliness, of sorrow, of love, but she does it with her own paradoxical, reflected twist … There are also some lovely love-stories here”
