"34-year-old
Laila Ingrid Rasmussen has made her debut with a fascinating whodunit …
This is truly a Copenhagen novel: the city as nighttime reality and as a
wild and violent video … an original novel that provokes both
bewilderment and recognition. Many readers will be delighted –
especially the younger ones."
- POUL BORUM, EKSTRA BLADET
"She writes surprisingly well and narrates with rapid shots from
the hip, right next to the abdomen, constantly reloading to the rhythm
of the book … this well-written, intense and impressive description of
youth culture."
- HANS ANDERSEN,
JYLLANDS-POSTEN
"The novel is fundamentally thrilling, written in a staccato rhythm that
gives it a rapid pulse while reflecting the fragmentation of the self …
a linguistically rich story."
- MAI MISFELDT, INFORMATION
"Laila
Ingrid Rasmussen has written nothing less than a fantastic novel. In
many ways it is a cross between 'De Uanstændige', ’Blow-Up’ and 'Less
Than Zero', but without this ever affecting its distinctiveness and
originality. Reading Déjà-vu has given me one of my best experiences in
newer Danish literature … It towers above other acclaimed Danish novels
in this genre."
- OVE CHRISTENSEN,
PINKERTON
