Beschreibung

A young Danish associate professor travels to the United States to teach at a Texas University. He is to teach Danish at its Germanic institute, where most of the work is otherwise about German and especially the Second World War.

An entertaining, intelligent and hilarious novel about the university world; about hierarchies and envy; about guarding research results and guarding each other; about a world where you would think there would be exciting and inspiring conversations during lunch break what with all the smart and well-read people gathered together in one place. Instead, people slander each other, try to make strategic alliances and will do almost anything to advance their own careers, possibly even murder...

Himmelstrup's "American parable" is a contemporary novel about the United States after 2001, after terror made its way into the country via accepted and unaccepted, some would say mysterious, scenarios. Angelina's Bottom begs the question: Is America in need of heroes, or are they already in good supply?
