"A quietly methodical rumination on time, control, and untenable situations, like a cow chewing on a time bomb. Set in a '70s Danish experimental boarding school, reads like Ender's Game in East Germany."
"a fascinating, philosophical read. and a good story. it explores ideas closely connected with michel foucault in regards to schooling, discipline, examination, timetables, surveillance. but also deeply explores issues of time, and the tension between linear and cyclical notions and experiences of time. brilliant stuff."
"Took a little time to get into, but this brutal look at the effect of a series of institutions on a Danish orphan grows into a powerful meditation on family, violence, and the nature of time. Very rewarding."
