Welcome to my blog – Around the Day in 80 Worlds. The idea is to give a brief impression of what my wife, Rosa Isabel, and I have been up to for the past 4 years or so. Since I have just created the blog, some of the postings are “out of date” – but I hope you will enjoy them nonetheless.I will be posting short texts and photos from my work and my travels in Africa and Latin America – and I will throw in recommendations for good books, discs and films every so often. New postings will appear below.
I have borrowed the title Around the Day in 80 Worlds from the book La vuelta al día en ochenta mundos by Julio Cortázar – the brilliant Argentine author. It is off course a playful version of Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne. Despite the title, I am afraid this blog will not do justice to all the intriguing philosophical games of Cortázar – but if it could lead just one person to read Julio Cortázar then it will definitely have served a noble purpose.

Kære Per
Tillykke med den nye blog. Du er hermed officielt min mest moderne ven!
Jeg må jo læse ham der. Cortazar. Hvad skal man læse først? Hvad hedder den på dansk? Er den overhovedet oversat?
Els alt godt. Karla er nu 1 år og bliver netop i dette øjeblik passet sin første time af det offentlige. En lang karriere i velærdsDanmark begynder. Leverpostejen rundt på 80 år!
