Mr. Saitos Rejsebiograf Mr Saito's Traveling Cinema

by Annette Bjergfeldt

A splendid novel of deep passions and great dreams. /…/ This thin line, the magical shell around some events in this great story of formation, is what brings a fresh and unusual air to the writing of the Danish Annette Bjergfeldt, which has made many critics compare her mainly to the writing of Isabel Allende. (…) [But Bjergfeldt] allows us to observe this fine crack in the shell of reality without the magic beginning to dictate, recalibrate or even remodel the story. /…/ Whilst only the second novel by [Bjergfeldt], Mr. Saito’s Traveling Cinema is convincing and powerful; it is contagious, compelling and acute in its search for the answer to the great problems of humanity through small details. /…/ The poetry of the novel is omnipresent, swaying in the rhythms of the waves that break against the shore of the illusory island. /…/ The book itself is made up of seven parts or waves, as the author calls them, in which the last, the deafening one, continues to vibrate long after the reader has put the book down, closed on the bedside table, making you reflect on the human condition and the joy of living.
