Niels Lillelund

Niels Lillelund (born 1965) is a Danish writer, cultural journalist,[1] op-ed columnist and restaurant critic[2] at Jyllands-Posten.

He is the author of several books, among those a series of crime novels about the antiquarian book dealer and ex-policeman Erik Andersen, who is forced to supplement his income as a private detective.

The novels introduces very different environments and people.

The first novel, Rouletten, takes place in and around a new casino, the first in Denmark. Lillelund worked there for some months before writing his novel.[3]

The second, Besat til anden side, is about a management consultant firm, while the third novel, Den Amerikanske Samler (The American Collector) takes us to New York in a hunt for a rare copy of Søren Kierkegaard's Either/Or.[4] These were followed by Manden der ville vaere sund, in which the narrator tries many different methods of improving his health.[5]

The latest novel, Bibendum, takes place among wine writers and producers,[6] a world well known to Lillelund, who has a weekly column about wine.

Lillelund holds an MA degree in Nordic literature and his non-fiction works include a book about the cultural history of poker, Gotham City - Fortællinger fra New York (Gotham City - Tales from New York), a book about the city of New York,[7] and Rhône vinene (Rhône wines), a book about the wines of the Rhône Valley.[8]
