"Doghead is the acclaimed magical realist saga from best-selling Danish author Morten Ramsland . . . gritty, powerful and engaging." (Daily Express)
"A huge international success...combines rambunctiousness, salty humour and poetic imagination." (Independent on Sunday (Books of the Year))
"A brilliant magical realist family saga. Better than Peter Hoeg. When I read it I had to pinch my arm to see if I was dreaming. It was really that good. Deserves to be an International bestseller." (Weekendavisen)
"Ramsland writes like a fire engine with the sirens on, driving full-speed through red lights." (Politiken, Denmark)
"Ramsland has a voice completely of his own. This is a courageous, entertaining and subtle novel. One hell of a book!" (Information, Denmark)
From a fiery and humorous Danish John Irving, a bighearted, epic story of mad dogs, naughty boys, strange relatives and family secrets.
