| Notes: |
Vægtløs Mand Under Truende Sky (‘Weightless Man Under Ominous Sky’) is a diary, a series of notes written by MH during his involvement as a judge in a Danish National Television talent contest that ran for three months during the fall this year. From the moment he agreed to participate in the project, his focus was to write this book about the course.
The journal gathers MH’s thoughts and experiences during the process. It reflects the author's interest in the mainstream medias seen from an almost anthropological aspect. The release is subtitled ”A social experiment in the shadow of the music hall theatre" and the writing is a very subjective description of the project as a whole – an equally diplomatic and diplomanic picture of a media world as ruthless as it’s fascinating.
At the time of its release the book caused quite a scandal. It was received with reviews ranging from 5 out of 6 stars appraisals to pure condemnation by the more conservative press. |
