Beschreibung

<p><b>'So clear is Ditlevsen's eye that it is impossible to tear yourself away' John Self, <i>Guardian</i><br><br>An unforgettable collection of stories from the author of </b><i><b>The Copenhagen Trilogy</b></i><br><br><i>'The most important thing is probably always precisely the thing you can't have. That's where all the happiness is'</i><br><br>In these brief, acid-sharp stories of love, marriage and family from one of Denmark's most celebrated writers, the ordinary events of everyday life - a wife anxious not to wake her husband, a little boy losing his father's beloved knife, a woman's obsessive longing for a yellow silk umbrella - become dark and disconcerting. Here Tove Ditlevsen explores yearning, fear and the elusiveness of that strange thing called happiness.<br><br>'The purity and dazzling insight of Ditlevsen's writing speaks for itself' <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><br>'Authentic, unforced and utterly lucid' <i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>'Ditlevsen's wonderful and devastatingly bleak short stories simmer with melancholy and despair' <i>Daily Mail</i><br><br>Translated by Michael Favala Goldman</p>
