内容简介
······

Called "a masterpiece" by The Guardian, this courageous and honest trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing, explores themes of family, sex, motherhood, abortion, addiction, and being an artist. This single-volume hardcover contains all three volumes of her memoirs

Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature, and The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. Childhood tells the story of a misfit child’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 horrible descent into drug addiction, enabled by her sinister, gaslighting doctor-husband.

Throughout, the narrator grapples with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her competing roles as daughter, wife, mother, and drug addict, and she writes about female experience and identity in a way that feels very fresh and pertinent to today’s discussions around feminism. Ditlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships, family and growing up―in this sense, it’s Copenhagen's answer to Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels. She can also be seen as a spiritual forerunner of confessional writers like Karl Ove Knausgaard, Annie Ernaux, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Her trilogy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction.

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, with "Tove fever" gripping readers.

评论 ······

Tove 真是个从小观察力就极其敏锐的聪明人。如此坦诚的叙述,第三部话锋急转,尤其精彩却也尤其令人焦心,读到第三部的名字在丹麦语里有 marriage 和 poison 的双重含义,译成 dependency 真是合适。少年时迫不及待想熬过眼前日子,谁知路的尽头是黑暗虚无。

很真实的叙述,一步一步走来,没有想到最后一部的名字居然是dependency,有点伤感,有点讽刺。

A Danish woman poet and writer recounts her life in Copenhagen during WWII. It is brutally honest with absorbing prose, at times reads like a suspense. The part that stood out for me is the constant s…

少见的自我剖析,更少有的是作为创作者承认她的世界只有自我与写作,希特勒掌权了她关心的是自己的诗集还能不能出版,快四百页文字中没有一丝对他人和世界的关怀,也是惊人
