Although Klaus Rifbjerg's output is prodigious--including more than
25 novels and 15 volumes of poetry--only two works, a volume of
selected poems and one novel are thus far available in English.
Charlotte Gray has provided a comprehensive introduction to the
works of this versatile man of letters, who enjoys a reputation not
only as a novelist and poet but as a critic, playwright,
journalist, and editor. She discusses Rifbjerg's place both in the
contemporary Danish literary scene and in modern letters. Offering
a thorough analysis of each work, she traces Rifbjerg's development
chronologically and in terms of his contributions to various
genres--particularly modernist poetry and psychological
fiction--and points out the underlying unity of his work within
these different forms. The author's generous use of quotations and
her sensitive commentary give a keen impression of Rifbjerg's style
and central concerns and convey his sense of the comic and tragic
dimensions of modern existence.
