SURGE

I remember driving to school with my mother, eyes wide. I thought, as we passed by buildings and stores and little cafes with seats outside, that the small suburban town we were driving through was beautiful.

The Bridge

As one of the major Danish-American immigrant writers

of the early 20th century, Carl Hansen wrote short stories,

sketches, and one novel, co-founded (with Oscar W. Lund)

The Christmas journal Julegranen, and published Dansk Jul i

Amerika in 1909. This paper will focus on three stories,
