The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen — Panel w/ M.F. Goldman, M.H. Jensen, R. Kushner, B. Lerner

On January 26, 2020, Scandinavia House presented a virtual panel discussion on Tove Ditlevsen’s "The Copenhagen Trilogy," in celebration of its publication in English translation by Tiina Nunnally and Michael Favala Goldman.Translator Michael Favala Goldman and authors Morten Høi Jensen (A Difficult Death), Rachel Kushner (The Mars Room), and Ben Lerner (The Topeka School) discussed the trilogy by literary icon Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing, which explores themes of family, sex, motherhood, abortion, addiction, and being an artist. Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in 20th-century Danish literature. Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager, and went on to write novels, stories and memoirs before committing suicide in 1976. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class, female writer, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark’s most important modern authors, and The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. Ditlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships, family and growing up; drawn from her own experiences, it reads like the most compelling kind of fiction, and has been hailed as “admirable and shocking” (Margaret Quamme, Booklist), and “mordant, vibrantly confessional…a masterpiece” (Liz Jensen, The Guardian) To learn more about the book and purchase it, visit: https://bit.ly/3sODwVt To see more programming from Scandinavia House, visit www.scandinaviahouse.org #TheCopenhagenTrilogy #ToveDitlevsen #LiteraryPanel
