Pro Reviews: Borderliners
As much as a novel about a boarding school from hell, a fairy tale with the obligatory locked doors, magic keys, secret caves and refugee children, a bill of indictment against Danish educational policy and a clever riff on Norse myths from the Elder Eddas, 'Borderliners' is a philosophical romance, a black valentine about Time. We are asked to imagine, instead of middle-class minutes and industrialized workweeks, a child's time that's slowed, curved, dark, fluid, swollen, collapsed, at least as various as consciousness itself, and maybe even artful.
Gripping and disturbing...Hoeg's evocation of the way a child perceives the world is alarmingly vivid.
Publisher Notes: Borderliners
- National Bestseller
Strange things are happening at Biehl's Academy when this elite school opens its doors to a group of orphans and reform-school rejects, kids at the end of the system's tether. But the school is run by a peculiar set of rules by which every minute is regimented and controlled. The children soon suspect that they are guinea pigs in a bizarre social experiment, and that their only hope of escape is to break through a dangerous threshold of time and space. Peter Hoeg's "brilliant" and dystopian "Borderliners "is a "uniquely philosophical thriller" ("Boston Sunday Globe") and a haunting story of childhood travail and hope.
