Trilogía de Copenhague

Considered "a masterpiece" by The Guardian, the Copenhagen Trilogy brings together in a single volume Childhood, Youth and Dependence, the three fundamental books of Tove Ditlevsen, hailed as one of the most important and unique voices in 20th century Danish literature. A courageous and honest work that is a pioneering exercise in the field of confessional writing and that explores themes such as family, sex, motherhood, addiction and the difficulties of being an artist as a woman. During her life, Ditlevsen had to deal with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her roles as daughter, wife and mother, as well as her condition as an addict, which led to writing about female experience and identity in a way ahead of her. her time, which connects with current affairs and discussions around feminism. Though based on his own experiences, the Copenhagen Trilogy reads like the most compelling fiction: it is notable for its intensity and immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships, family, and literature, and can be considered the Danish answer to Neapolitan novels by Elena Ferrante, as well as a spiritual forerunner to confessional writers such as Karl Ove Knausgaard, Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk, and Deborah Levy.
