There’s something very endearing about these essays by the late, great Knud Sonderby, which have been translated into English for the first time by Michael Goldman. Among the highlights in this fine collection are bittersweet reflections about owning a boat, musings about darkness and the sound of the wind in West Jylland, and observations about the people Sonderby encounters on his travels across the picturesque Danish landscape. Full of deft humor and thoughtful introspection, Fragments of a Mirror offers up glittering shards of Knud Sonderby at his finest.

Knud Sonderby is a master of language, a poetic realist and a refined memoirist. His essays express a very Danish relationship to reality, characterized by his humorous, evocative tone and his delightful observations of this unique Scandinavian country.
