PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Peter Holm Jensen grew up in Indonesia, Canada, and Denmark, and studied religion, art history and literature at King's College London and the University of East Anglia. He lived in Norwich for twenty years, where he worked as a translator. The Moment is his first novel.
The Moment is the journal of a profound and moving endeavour: the attempt to renew a faith in life through the act of writing. Reflecting on everyday life in the Norfolk countryside as well as some of the richest literary, philosophical and theological ideas of the past couple of centuries, its narrator seeks to work through the legacy of his past by opening himself to the unknown and perhaps to the eternal. Life, Holm Jensen shows in his poised, lapidary prose, is best experienced as a gift, but one that must be received in the right way - by living and thinking beside the thought of luminaries old and new. This is a wisdom book, hushed and intimate, that will repay close contemplation. Lars Iyer, author of the Spurious trilogy, Wittgenstein Jr. and Nietzsche and the Burbs
