Patreon Post: Think of a Number (1968) by Anders Bodelsen [Trans. David Hohnen]

Anders Bodelsen (1937-2021) was a Danish crime writer who is mostly associated with the neo-realist literary wave in Denmark. He is a new-to-me author and Think of a Number was something of a wild card read. I was not sure what to expect, but the premise sounded intriguing and the Santa-Klaus-dressed robber made it seem like a timely read, given how close it is to December. This novel was adapted into film under the name The Silent Partner, starring Elliot Gould.
