REVIEWS OF THE BOOK

“Martin Hall writes unadorned, beautifully, often wise and most of the time relievingly funny about his youth and early days.”

Politiken

“Hall is brilliant in his depiction of a rampant Copenhagen in the seventies … the book is a sharp and observant snapshot.”

Berlingske

“Martin Hall has style, and with this book he manages to come close to the substance and the pain in the depiction of his early career’s harsh downside with suicides, drugs and chronic restlessness.”
Weekendavisen

“The multifacetted artist Martin Hall tells a charming tale of his early, wild years.”
Jyllands-Posten

“Beautifully written, deeply personal, wildly entertaining and, not least, convincingly reflective.”
Bogbobler

“Insightful and amusing.”
Fyens Stiftstidende

“Needle-pointed wit … the book kindles you and you’re moved as you enter its many rooms.”
