”Quiet Days in The Arctic is a very personal reflection of a privileged double life, where the author commutes between two realities – a world at home in urbanized Sweden and a high arctic dream world in Greenland.
In Northeast Greenland, there is still a possibility to experience the feeling to be a king with all the power to rule both yourself and, if you wish, a chunk of land limited only by your own imagination. A land where you yourself and nobody else determines when and how things should be done; in conflict with no-one. Every time the author goes there for a few months, he leaves behind the scheduled routines of everyday life, knowing fully well that it is always possible to return. But only when he decides to.”
