Carsten Nagel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carsten Nagel (born April 8, 1955 in Fredriksberg ) is a Danish author and psychotherapist. He has published 12 books, including novels and short stories, as well as a feature film, a short film and a play.

In 1976 Nagel made his debut with the autobiographical book "Som mand (d) behager". His novel "Knock-Out" from 1982 achieved cult status, especially in the homosexual scene. With the epistolary novel “Hjertestrimler” and the short story collections “Hunger” (1986) and “Stuefugle i faver”, the author turned to the topic of the Danish cultural radicalism of existentialism and psychoanalysis.

Carsten Nagel is described as a Nordic mixture of Jean Genet and Henry Miller . His writing is known for a witty language in which pain and joy are natural twins. Although his books often have a serious existential focus, his sense of humor is perhaps his well-known trademark.

Nagel was also a writer of chronicles and articles. From 1978 to 1979 he was a student at Stella Adler's Drama Conservatory .

In 1989 Nagel became a psychotherapist at the University of Copenhagen . In 1995 he received his public approval. Nagel, who did important work in trauma psychology, now looks after war victims, victims of torture, traumatized refugees and young people who are difficult to integrate.
