Book of the Book in the Danish press
"This is an image stirring poetry of wisdom, inheriting an ancient culture" EKSTRA BLADET
"Man is a book, a reader or a writing or possibly doesn't exist at all. Instead man is a universe that is readable and the author of life itself. Almost as with Kierkegaard, where existence is written or will be wrote. Book of the book is like metaphysics in motion, capturing the multiple dimensions of existence, and when writing becomes open to interpretations, to be re-read: not as the will to power, but as the will to read. A beautiful book, outside and in". STANDART
"Meeting Jamal Jumá is far from superfluous - a small crack has been opened into something fascinating and different" KRISTELIGT DAGBLADET
"Book of the book by Jumá is on the whole a fine appetizer. Like an educated guide he leads the reader in an ideology that may seem very dense and alien, but he actually manages to present two hundred variations of the same theme." WEEKENDAVISEN
