Saabye Christensen's writing is rich and elegant, and always easy to read. Burlesque humour that borders on farce, with an underlying layer of melancholy. From the outset, the reader might feel that the book flows a bit too easily, but before you notice the writer has grabbed hold of you and doesn't let go until the last page has been turned
Adresseavisen
Eminent is a big word. Even so, it comes to mind assessing the second volume of this memoir novel, <i>Echoes of the City . . . </i>Lars Saabye Christensen is a master storyteller who is both sharp and affectionate.
Weekendavisen
I just have to repeat how impressed I am with Lars Saabye Christensen. It's like he's just sitting there, almost improvising on his keyboard and suddenly he's composed yet another masterpiece
Dagbladet
A book filled with sorrow and wistfulness for a time torn between faith in the future and the community's need for social control. It's Lars Saabye Christensen on home turf. It's the author at his best
