Trilogia de Copenhaguen

Copenhagen Trilogy collects the three memoirs of Tove Ditlevsen, one of the most important and unique voices in Danish literature. Extraordinarily honest and vulnerable, a pioneer of the unclassifiable confessional genre, the writer explores issues such as family, sex, motherhood, abortion, addiction and being an artist, woman and working class, and narrates the constant tension, from a very young age, between her vocation as a writer and her condition as a daughter, partner, mother and, later, a drug addict. The first part, Childhood, introduces us to a rebellious and stubborn girl, obsessed with becoming a great poet; in Joventut he describes his first sexual and professional experiences, and the liberation that comes with being independent of the family; and in Dependencia, the most devastating book in the trilogy, he tells us about his marriages -he married four times- and his descent into the hells of drug addiction. Above all, however, Ditlevsen speaks harshly of his struggle to combat his deepest addictions: acceptance of others, writing, and love.
