Man in the Dark was published as another danish world premiere here in Denmark this past friday. The reviews in the danish papers have been moderate to good. One reviewer, Klaus Rothstein from Weekend Avisen, compares the book with Murakamis "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" and a book by Philip Roth which I don't remember. Another reviewer, Karsten Ifversen from Politiken, says that the book is a lot like "Travels in the Scriptorium".
I'll get back to your question when I've read the book.
