Description
A beautifully intimate novel from award-winning Danish novelist, Helle Helle
This should be written in the present tense. But it isn’t.
Dorte should be at uni in Copenhagen. But she’s not.
She should probably put some curtains up in her new place.
And maybe stop sleeping with her neighbour’s boyfriend.
Perhaps things don’t always work out the way they should.
A Note From the Publisher
UK edition – available to read worldwide excluding USA.
Advance Praise
Hilarious, loving and deadly serious - Berlingske Tidende
Some
pieces of literature, no matter how great an effort you make as a
critic, cannot be opened or captured in a way that does justice to the
work. That’s how I feel about Helle Helle’s new and unusually precious
novel... Most of the sentences are small works of art, containing a whole story in themselves - Weekendavisen
This Should be Written in the Present Tense is an excellent novel, yet another sleek and nonchalant masterpiece from Helle Helle - Information
Helle Helle has written a captivating novel about Dorte Hansen, who sleepwalks through life, letting chance rule - Politiken
