what about the parents??? nobody mentioned Peter Hoeg’s parents.
Could you please give me more details about his parents and their upbringing. Thank you!!
I have just read the history of Danish Dreams and I am reluctant to read anything else for a while as I want it to settle in and absorb it thoroughly.I think it is a major work and should be up there with the greats.It made me reflect on so many things .He expresses so much about society that we feel but find too difficult to articulate. Thank you.
