metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The aim of this article is to contribute to a deeper understanding of Danish minimalism
  by performing a genre analysis of Solvej Balle’s four short prose books (brief
  fictional prose) — “&”, “Or”, “If ” and “Then” — written over a 23-year period, between
  1990 and 2013. The four texts are connected by a commonality of motifs and thematic
  elements, identical form and linguistic structure and therefore they comprise a rather
  unusual tetralogy. Balle’s texts are viewed in the context of the development of Danish
  literature of that period with an emphasis on minimalist aesthetics and their origins.
  Balle belongs to a generation of writers associated with the flourishing of minimalism
  in Danish literature at the end of the 20th century. The characteristic features of her few
  works are their intellectual elitism and elaborate, sophisticated form. All of her works
  are experimental, but the four texts of the “tetralogy” are the quintessence of a genre
  experiment in search of a new minimal aesthetic. The article deals with the characteristic
  features of the formal organisation of the four books, including their linguistic
  structure that indicate the cross-genre nature of Balle’s texts and allow to identify them
  as a hybrid of a pointillist novel and a prose poem.
