Jorn + Munch is the first publication to examine the enduring impact Edvard Munch (1863-1944) had on Asger Jorn (1914-1973). In Munch's later works, Danish artist Jorn discovered an artist with a direct, spontaneous, and raw form of expression. Already influenced by surrealism's unprompted painting style, Jorn was naturally drawn to Munch's similarly unbridled compositions. In particular, Jorn was interested in Munch's use of intense colors and his gestural application of paint in the later works. From the middle of the 1940s, and for many years after that, Munch is shown to be a challenging and important reference point for Jorn's own body of work.

Im Kopenhagener Hafenviertel stürzt ein Junge vom Dach eines Lagerhauses. Todesursache laut Polizeibericht: ein Unfall. Smilla Jaspersen, die im selben Haus wohnt wie der Junge, sieht das anders und stellt ihre eigenen Nachforschungen an. Der internationale Erfolg dieses literarischen Thrillers hat neben der faszinierenden Geschichte vor allem mit seiner Heldin zu tun: der wunderbar ruppigen, unangepassten und zugleich zarten und verletzlichen Smilla.
