ANew York Times 10Best Books of the Year (2021) An NPR Best Books of the Year (2021) Called "a masterpiece" by The New York Times, the acclaimed trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing. Tove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth-century Danish literature, and The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969â??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 upâ??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. 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… (altro)
Very interesting trilogy, quite well-done - substance, writing, development. I loved it till the last page or two. Then I reflected that this may well have been how it really worked out for the author. If so, bravo! ( )
I really enjoy reading Scandinavian fiction and I've been curious about the hyper-personal narrative autobiographies that are around (like [[Knausgaard]]) so I was intrigued right away by this book, especially since it is by a woman. [The Copenhagen Trilogy] is writer Tove Ditlevsen's memoir told in three parts, her childhood, her youth, and her adulthood where she becomes addicted to painkillers. Ditlevsen wrote this in the 1970s after she had established herself as a well-respected author.
In the Childhood section, we get to know Tove's family and her relationship with her mother, father, and brother. We also learn about the poverty her family grows up in and how it affects her ability to have the confidence and support to become a writer. In the Youth section, Ditlevsen begins to come in to her own - publishing some of her writing, moving out into her own apartment, working, and meeting men. The third section, Dependency, is probably the most compelling section as Tove becomes addicted to demerol supplied by a mentally unstable man who marries her and abuses her for years. I always have a hard time reading about addiction, which is a topic that just terrifies me.
This autobiography reads like a novel and is very personal and revealing. While I enjoyed it and appreciated it for stretching the boundaries of personal narrative, I can't say I loved it. I guess, being a private person myself, I'm not that excited about knowing the details and confessions of a real person. I would rather lose myself in fiction or read nonfiction that is at a bit more of a remove. Even so, I would recommend this, especially if you are interested in the inner thoughts of writers, the struggles of female writers, or the time period in general (spans about 1925-1960?). ( )
