Produktbeschreibungen
From Publishers Weekly
With his cool intelligence, James Gale is an ideal choice to read Hoeg's latest intellectual thriller. Like Smilla's Sense of Snow, Hoeg has created a Fellini-like world of bizarre and dreamlike landscapes and events. Gale wisely underplays just enough to make listeners eager to find out more. In a flooded part of Copenhagen, Kasper Krone—a famous clown, psychic and passionate lover of the music of Bach—has run afoul of the tax authorities and faces deportation. But a bureaucrat from the Kafkaesque Department H promises to make the charges disappear if Krone will help them locate a young girl who was once Krone's pupil, now being looked after by a society of nuns. Gale guides the characters through a tangled tale of music and mystery without missing a beat or overstating a point. Gale makes Krone a wonderful mixture of motives and passions, and his villainous bureaucrat reeks with the banality of evil.

From Booklist
Hoeg, author of the international best-seller Smilla's Sense of Snow (1993), returns with another demanding, often befuddling, but unquestionably daring philosophical novel. Hoeg's vision has grown steadily darker over the years, from Borderliners, which concerned a group of innocent children struggling to survive a world of life-draining institutions; through The Woman and the Ape (an even more audacious tour de force of genre bending than Smilla), which concluded that there was no escape from the deathly pallor of civilization; and on to this novel, which seems to suggest that even children are not entirely to be trusted. The hero here is a world-famous circus clown and violinist, Kaspar Krone, who possesses a mystical ability to identify an individual's personality in terms of the sounds and musical keys that emanate from them. His special talent brings him in contact with a group of children who also possess mystical powers—perhaps even the ability to alter physical reality. One of those children, the "quiet girl" of the title, has disappeared, and Krone is compelled to rescue her from the madman who seems determined to use the children to create panic in Copenhagen's financial institutions. Or possibly it is the quiet girl who is doing the manipulating. On one level, the novel is a forward-thrusting, suspenseful thriller, but on another, it asks confounding questions about the nature of reality and the possibility of love in a world devoid of innocence. Some readers may conclude that the novel spins out of control, untethered to any form of reality, but even they will respect Hoeg's genius for stretching the bounds of narrative fiction in altogether new directions.
