Aksel Sandemose
Actually he fathered seven children, not five... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.135.143.222 (talk) 21:49, 14 March 2019 (UTC) His first book wasn't a novel but a collection of short stories. The trip to Canada was in 1927-1928, not in 1927. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.53.152.155 (talk) 18:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Sandemose's mother wasn't born at Sandermosen; it is, however, a railway station not far from where she was born. He always claimed to have arrived in Norway in 1929, but in fact he didn't emigrate until 1930. The English title of his famous novel En flyktning krysser sitt spor(1933) is not A refugee crosses his tracks but A fugitive crosses his tracks; it was published in the U.S. by Alfred A. Knopf in 1936 and received a very favourable review by Louis Kronenberger in the New York Times Book Review; a portrait of Aksel Sandemose is on the front page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.198.129.186 (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm an avid Sandemose reader, but the claim that it's "virtually impossible to get through secondary school" in Scandinavia without having read some of his work is (unfortunately) ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.53.213.25 (talk) 10:03, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I have removed the claim, as well as the preceding sentences, as they were indeed exaggerated (and uncited). --Saddhiyama (talk) 10:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
