Praise for Christian Jungersen
“Jungersen’s sparse, Danish approach to language is effective . . . leaving us with a humming tension.”
—Minneapolis Star Tribune
“An argument can probably be made that some of the best recent Nordic writing has been detective fiction. . . . Jungersen stakes out a path all his own.”
—The New Yorker
“Excellent on so many things. . . . There is a hugely empathetic imagination behind [The Exception], one that resists allowing us to fall into the simplifying judgments that are a necessary prelude to cruelty. Its characters seem deeply true to life.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Jungersen . . . writes evocatively and perceptively about sensitive topics, and offers provocative theories about what makes each of us who we are.”
—Mostly Fiction
