DESCRIPTION:
This month we will be reading
The Copenha
gen Trilogy
Childhood, Youth, Dependency
By Tove Ditlevsen
Translated by Tiina Nunnally and
Michael Favala Goldman
384 pp., Macmillan Publisher, 2021
“Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most
important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature, an
d The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969-71) is her acknowled
ged masterpiece. Childhood tells the story of a misfit c
hild's single-minded determination to become a poet; Youth describes her early experiences of sex, work, and independence
. Dependency picks up the story as the narrator embarks
on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horribl
e descent into drug addiction, enabled by her sinister, gaslighting do
ctor-husband. ... Ditlevsen's trilogy is remarkable for its int
ensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friend
ships, family and growing up--in this sense, it's Copenhagen's answer
to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels. … Her trilogy is drawn from her
own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction.”
(Macmillan Publisher)
This acclaimed trilogy was called a masterpiece
by the New York Times and one of their 10 Best Books of 2021
.
We hope you will join us for a discussion
of Ditlevsen’s remarkable memoirs, that are all finally available in
English.
We will take a break in December.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 18 to discuss Empire of Pain
: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, by Patrick Radden Keefe. This
is narrative reporting at its best, giving us a devastating portrait of thr
ee generations and their endless greed that launched the U.S. opioid crisis
.
