Joakim Garff Denmark

Author, born 1960, Master of Theology, Doctorate in Theology, Ass. professor at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre since 1994; co-editor of Søren Kierkegaards Skrifter; co-editor of Kierkegaardiana 1989-1999. Published: Den søvnløse: Kierkegaard læst æstetik/biografisk (The Insomniac: an Aesthetic/Biographical Reading of Kierkegaard), co-author of Kierkegaards æstetik 1995, and Skriftbilleder 1996. And the prize-winning, bestselling: SAK - Søren Aabye Kierkegaard. En Biografi (SAK - Søren Aabye Kierkegaard. A Biography).
Never before has Søren Aabye Kierkegaard been portrayed so thorougly, in such detail, and as comprehensively as in this biography, which departs resolutely from the notion that Kierkegaard's private person is merely a peculiar appendix to a genius authorship. SAK does not only unfold the great events in Kierkegaard's life, but also adds the odd bits and circumstances, the cracks in the granite of genius, the madness just under the surface, and the price of the writing orgies, both economic and psychological. It is, in the most comprehensive sense, the complete Kierkegaard which SAK has set out to describe.
