"Whoever might wish to put in for the Carlsberg Honorary Residence in Valby, 850 square metres with a full cellar and a park, free and for life, may profitably begin by securing the Nobel Prize in Physics. Andrea Fink did so at an early age and was therefore able to take on the house after Niels Bohr sometime in the 1960s, and to go on living in it for over fifty years. Now she is preparing to vacate it. She is dying. Most of us approach death reluctantly. Personally, I will face it screaming and with thrashing limbs. Andrea Fink proceeds towards it like an operatic diva might approach her final performance ..." Peter Høeg, The Susan Effect. Translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken.
