The interplay between quasi-realism and complete fantasy in Svend Åge Madsen’s novels leads to contemplation of the indefinable nature of human existence.
Svend Åge Madsens roman BESØGET fra 1963 i e-bogsudgave.
BESØGET foregår i en særlig drømmetilstand, hvor fortælleren tvinges længere og længere mod afgrunden. I sine tanker forsøger fortælleren at opbygge forsvarspositioner og planer mod de farer, der hele tiden lurer. I angst for at blive misforstået eller fremstå provokerende, når han dog aldrig at udføre sine nøje udtænkte planer og forsvarspositioner.
BESØGET er Svend Åge Madsens debut. Hans tidlige bøger er kendetegnet ved at være skrevet i en bevidst abstrakt stil, renset for handling og miljø. Inspireret af eksistentiel filosofi og litterær modernisme skildrer de absurd-humoristisk det isolerede jeg, som forgæves søger at finde en mening i verden.
