Charlotte Weitze is recognized as the national pride of Denmark. At the heart of her talent lies an explosive mixture of mathematics and folklore, which, ignited, gave a stunning result in an explosion: magical realism finally sounded Danish. A ghost lamb, a mad king, an eccentric flutist, Siamese twins and an albino who dreams of becoming a postman meet in in the novel, Charlotte Weitz, to go through difficult trials, survive a disaster and be reborn for a new life. This existential tale is rooted in the writings of the great Andersen and bares the nerves with the audacity of Kierkegaard. Fairytale canons are destroyed on every page, plot twists and actions of the characters are unpredictable. And yet, “The Letter Bearer” is precisely the fairy tale that the modern era of literary experimentation so lacks.
