Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article reviews Marina Allemano’s intriguing overview of prolific Danish writer Suzanne Brøgger’s oeuvre until 2004. This monograph includes a wealth of information, from biographical details and insightful interpretations by important critics, to musings about Brøgger’s symbolic and philosophical universe. This review essay also offers a few interpretations of its own, and suggests some oblique references—in the choice of photographs used in Allemano’s book—to Brøgger’s precursor Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen).
