Notes:

On June 30 Gyldendal (the biggest Danish publishing agency) released MH’s epic two-volume novel ’Den Sidste Romantiker’ (‘The Last Romantic’) in its first paperback edition. Originally People’s Press had released the hardback novel in August 2005, but the change of publishers was made possible due to a clause, MH had insisted upon during the contract negotiations, a clause that secured him all rights to the paperback format of the book. Gyldendal’s paperback version of the book became ”book of the month” throughout July and August 2006, thereby securing the book status as a regular bestseller (as a hardback novel the book had already sold several editions). The paperback version furthermore presented the book with a new cover design, a photograph taken by Robin Skjoldborg (a phographer MH had worked with on several occasions, such as the ’Cradlemoon’ video from 1996 (you can see the video under our media-menu). Read more about the contents of the book itself under the notice concerning the original version of Den Sidste Romantiker. * At the time of the release, the reviews were ecstatic. Here are some highlights: ”An intellectual feat of strength.” ( * * * * * ) Henrik Queitsch / Ekstra Bladet ”A magnificent roguish and excessively rich fantasy … Gripping and amusing, intelligent and, I dare say: edifying.” Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg / Politiken ”Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll mixed with high-flown existential philosophy and a skewering critical angle to modern culture.” Per Krogh Hansen / Berlingske Tidende ”The best book I’ve read about ”the sons of no generation” as Hall calls them.” ( * * * * * ) Jens Henneberg / Nordjyske Stiftstidende ”Seldomly gripping portrait of the eighties and nineties.” ( * * * * ) Sissel-Jo Gazan / Femina ”One of the best descriptions of Danish cultural life (or lack of the same) in the last 25 years.” ( * * * * * ) Simon Lund Andersen / Citadel
