I Kim Larsen – et livs sange dykker Erik Jensen, Politikens mangeårige musikskribent, ned i de Kim Larsen-sange, der har været danskernes lydtapet igennem fem årtier. Fra dengang tressernes drømmeflip blev afløst af 1970’ernes benhårde socialrealisme og frem til 2010’erne, hvor spillemanden Larsen til det sidste rejste landet tyndt på en nærmest kronisk koncertturne. Det er en bog om det univers, de personligheder og det Danmark, der er vokset ud af de omkring 500 sange, som Kim Larsen nåede at indspille.
A love story. An artistic journey. A matter of life and death... In 2000, Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen embarked on a tour across America -- one that would give them a glimpse of the darker side of the justice system and, at the same time, reveal to them just how resilient the human spirit can be. They were a pair of young actors from New York who wanted to learn more about our country's exonerated -- men and women who had been sentenced to die for crimes they didn't commit, who spent anywhere from two to twenty-two years on death row, and who were freed amidst overwhelming evidence of their innocence. The result of their journey was The Exonerated, New York Times number one play of 2002, which was embraced by such acting luminaries as Ossie Davis, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Glover, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Robin Williams. Living Justice is Jessica and Erik's fascinating, behind-the-scenes account of the creation of their play. A tale of artistic expression and political awakening, innocence lost and wisdom won, this is above all a story about two people who fall in love while pursuing their passion and learn -- through the stories of the exonerated -- what freedom truly means.

Erik Jensen tog til Den Iberiske Halvø for som kulturkorrespondent at skildre kulturen i Spanien. Gennem utallige rejser i landet skildres de store byer, maden, vinen, kulturen, fodbolden og tyrefægtningen med forfatterens fascination af og kærlighed til det spanske som brændstof for reportager, fortællinger, portrætter og interview.Kom med på besøg hos den kendte tyrefægter, mød nogle af landets mest anerkendte forfattere og musikere, drag tilbage til borgerkrigens slagmarker, tag med dybt ind i den ulmende selvstændighed i Baskerlandet og Catalonien og til det andalusiske hjerteland. Spanien Mañana er et forsøg på ud fra evig undren over og en lige så vedholdende kærlighed til Spanien at skildre landets udvikling og baggrunden for den.Bogen er bygget op som en vekslen mellem længere kapitler og korte skildringer af 12 spanske fænomener. Selv om der er masser af personlige anbefalinger, er det hverken en traditionel guidebog eller en politisk frontberetning. Det er fortællinger fra og en hyldest til et både traditionsrigt og moderne Spanien, der fortsat står over for enorme udfordringer.
