A clown who shouldn't be suffered gladly
Fiction: Peter Høeg shot to international
success in the 1990s with his second novel, billed as a literary
thriller, Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow. The novel was not a
literary thriller in the traditional sense of combining poetical
language with a suspenseful narrative - think Crime and Punishment,
or The Name of the Rose - so much as the head of a literary novel
stitched to the tail of a James Bond movie, writes
