Sanderhoff's new novel about art, death, and guilt is unsettling and
formidable. / His words range from purified luminosity to the delightfully
hermetic, and they are chronically beautiful. / "…until oblivion
descended upon my grave like evil snow" [a quote from the novel].
These are words not easily forgotten.
Søren Kassebeer, Berlingske Tidende
JCS writes
creatively inspired, wildly and fervently about the life and times of the poet
Ezra Pound (…) ‘A Century of Hesitation’ is by God one of the best contemporary
Danish novels I have read in many years!
Søren R. Fauth, Standart
I know this sounds
super biased since I'm the daughter of the author, but hear me out: This is the
first novel of his I've read. I haven't really known what to feel or where to
start - since he's my dad - and I like to seperate the art and the artist when
I read/go to museums/watch a movie etc. But now I've read one of his books, and
let me just say; What a beautifully written piece of literature he has created.
Well done, dad.

Jens Carl
Sanderhoff's works feel like beneficent literary explosions; his words range
from the simple, luminous to the complex and deeply beautiful. He manages to
write elegantly and brutally at the same time, effortlessly alternating between
refined imagery and very direct formulations.
