Solar

SOLAR begynder, da den unge sortseende økodigter Theis begiver sig ud på en vandretur ned ad Hærvejen. Undervejs gør han status over en verden fuld af velfærdsvæsener, pakket ind i privilegier og tryghed. Ingen gør noget ekstremt. Ingen ønsker at ændre noget. Ingen går amok. Så lader Theis sig falde – ned gennem systemerne, kulturen og sindet. SOLAR, der er forfatteren Theis Ørntofts debutroman, er et moderne eventyr gennem jyske skove, københavnske natklubber, Fitness World, uventet kærlighed, dyriske underverdener, vild sex og sollys. Den er en desperat, dystopisk generationsroman, et hallucineret roadtrip og en rumrejse ind i krybdyrhjernen.

"Solar" er Theis ørntofts debutroman og handler om digteren Theis, der bevæger sig igennem et moderne Danmark, der har mistet sin kant og sjæl. "Solar" er en rejse ind i den hårde virkelighed, hvor Theis slynges ind, ud og gennem de systemer og tanker, der holder os låst fast i vores knusende, intetsigende tryghed. En tryghed, der truer med at blive vores allesammens endeligt. Theis ørntoft tager med sin debutroman et velment kvælertag om sin generation og giver ikke slip før bogen er læst færdig.
