Anders Bodelsen
Anders Bodelsen (11 February 1937 – 17 October 2021) was a Danish writer primarily associated with the 1960 new-realism wave in Danish literature, along with Christian Kampmann and Henrik Stangerup. Bodelsen preferred the social-realistic style of writing, often thrillers about middle-class people who face the consequences of materialism, which often clashes with their human values. His thrillers also experiment with ordinary persons tempted by e.g. theft and border-morale issues. Most known is Bodelsen's novel ''Think of a Number'' (''Tænk på et tal'', 1968) filmed as ''The Silent Partner'' in 1978. Also widely known is his cooperation with Danish National Television (Danmarks Radio) on the filming of some of his children's thrillers, e.g. '' Guldregn'' ("Golden Rain", 1986). Furthermore, he also made some lesser known radio plays. He had a very brief cameo in the second of the ''Olsen-banden'' series of films, ''Olsen-banden på spanden''.
