namnändring 1926
Danish dramatist and novelist, who combined in his work satiric humor with pessimistic view of the world. Panduro gained in the 1960s and 1970s a central position in Danish literature. He often depicted young rebels and neurotics, who were in conflict with the established society. Panduro also wrote several scripts for television, radio, and film.
"Den nat drømde Jacob to drømme. Den første kendte han igen. Han drømte Adrian drunknede ham i sin swimmingpool. I den anden elskede Jacob med pigen. Så dukkede Adrian pludselig op og ville have sin urin undersøgt. Derefter skete der en forverksling mellem pigen of Adrian. Jacob var meget forvirret da han vågnade" (from Den ubetænksomme elsker, 1973)
Leif Panduro was born in Frederiksberg, near Copenhagen. His childhood was traumatic: his parents separated shortly after he was born and he spent times in children's home. When German occupied Denmark during World War II, Panduro supported the Resistance movement - his father sympathized the Nazis, and was killed. Panduro was trained as a dentist, finishing dental school in 1947. Two years later Panduro moved to Sweden where he practiced dentistry until his return to Denmark in 1956. From 1965 he devoted himself entirely to writing. Panduro died in Asserbo on January 16, in 1977.
Panduro made his literary debut with Historien om Ambrosius (1956), a radio play. His first novel, Av, min guldtand (1957), was partly autobiographical. Rend mig i traditionerne (1958, Kick Me in the Traditions), a story about pthe difficulties of puberty, written in the spirit of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, which had appeared seven years earlier. The protagonist in the humorous novel was a young boy who escapes from school. He is confined in a mental hospital due to his unyielding attitude towards the norms of society - he refuses to become "normalized."
"Plan. Der er Brøns' standardudtryck. Se at få plan over jeres tilværelse, si'r han altid. Mennesket adskiller sig fra dyrene derved, at det kan planlægge. Det lyder da af noget" (from Rend mig i traditionerne, 1958)
De uanstændige (1960) was set during the years of German occupation of Denmark in World War II. In Øgledage (1961, saurian days), a monologue novel, Panduro used modernistic narrative technique. It is considered his most ambitious novel and again explored the psychological problems of youth. Saurians in the story represent repressed elements in society and in the individual. Panduro's later novels dealt with demands of conformity in the lives of middle-aged heroes. His protagonists have difficulties with their commitments, the outside world, and the younger generation, and solve their personal crisis in different ways. Martin Fern, a forty-year-old man, loses his memory in Fern fra Danmark (1963) and refuses to accept the role he is offered. In Fejltagelsen (1964) the paranoid Marius Berg developes a severe hypochondria. Healthy friend Hilmer is too normal. In Den gale man Edvard Morner, a bank manager, rejects all human emotions. Daniel from Daniels anden verden (1970) finds salvation in the meeting with the young, schizophrenic Laila.
In the 1970s Panduro became one of the most successful Scandinavian dramatist. His central themes were the defects of the modern welfare state and the conflict between normal and abnormal. However, Panduro's view was not political - his dialogue suggested rather than clearly stated arguments. As a social critic Panduro often taunted norms generally shared by the audience. Farvel, Thomas (1968) was a story of a man who loses his own identity when he is abandoned by his wife. I Adams verden (1973) and Louises hus (1974) attacked bourgeoisie world - they are considered among the best Scandinavian television dramas in the 1970s. Rundt om Selma (1971) was Panduro's most pessimistic play and depicted the failure of the whole middle-class way of life. Panduro's only stage plays were produced in the early 1960s. Kufferten (The Suitcase) was influenced by Samuel Beckett
