"In
places one is dealing with a positively euphoriant portrayal, and that’s
quite a statement to make about a new Danish novel. So allow me to
immediately take off my hat for Prerequisites For Life … It is magical
and refined … The high point in this regard is a feverish trip through a
Moroccan medina … This is the novel’s tour de force and is accomplished
in thoroughly exciting fashion … So, if you have some spare time, you’re
not only in fine - but also wise - company with Laila Ingrid Rasmussen."
- NIELS BARFOED, POLITIKEN
"Prerequisites For Life is written with both linguistic precision
and amplitude, based on an appreciative hunch that one can never be
all-inclusive. For this reason it is a book worth encountering."
- EVA POHL, BERLINGSKE

"This testimony about life maintains its strength when one is
finished reading Laila Rasmussen’s book."
- ERIK SKYUM-NIELSEN, INFORMATION
"Prerequisites For Life is a book about the ordinary, the
inconspicuous and conventional. Still it is an unusual novel. An
unusually delightful and insightful novel."
- KNUD BJARNE GJESING, FYNS
