the Author Anna Grue has just posted a new book on the street – the beginning of a brand new crime series with a madglad efterlønner as a detective. ‘The mystery in the Genbrugsen’ goes close to the main character Anne-Maj Jonsson and exhibits in a humorous tone of her peculiarities: Her impatience, her urge to meddle and her overly developed sense. But how much similar to mrs Mortensen really Anna Grue yourself? Pretty much, she admits. In at least some areas …

“That I am unable to hide my impatience and is really bad to lie about what I really believe. I wish I was better to imagine.”

“It is inappropriate in many situations, but in reality it is probably only me that notices it. I do not think that there are many who feel it on me. In the traffic I send a stiff smile to the people, as kvajer itself, or in the queue at the supermarket, where people fumbling around with all their stuff. My patience also comes to the test, when small children need help in the kitchen to make food. Must I really sit on my hands not to intervene. They take the such a little illogical things, and I can almost not bear it. It must be like to be a little effective.”

“Yes. If I’m excited, angry, annoyed or touched, then it must out. I own simply not the filter, as I feel that other people have, as they can lay down over their positions. It brings me some times out of no slightly silly situations where it might have been smarter to tie, but I can’t. I’m not built to lie. For example, when a realtor shows a house above. There you have to pretend that you are a little care with it, then you can negotiate the price. I am completely unable to. For if I think a house is fat, then I say it loud – I simply can’t let be.”

“I believe indeed, that many of them, which I regard as close friends, greatly appreciate it. You always know what I mean. I am no such thing ‘finch-something’, where you go and say one thing but do something else. “

“Although I’m such a, who speaks much and likes to be in the company, so I have had to recognize that I have an introvert side. I will simply up, when I’m alone. Just very who I’m with, then there comes a time where I have to draw myself a little. It may just be a half-hour. I’ve probably always had it that way, but haven’t really recognised how important it was for me. I think really, that it dawned on me, after I many years ago got sick of the stress. It was also there that I began to write. When I write fiction, I get: the calm that I yearn for. When I’m sitting alone with my computer, and my brain is running on full speed, without any interruptions, so I have it as a fish in water. It is absolutely fantastic.”
