Knausgård and the Autofictional Novel
Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård’s six-volume, 3600-page autobiographical novel, My Struggle, has been widely hailed for its heroic exploration of selfhood, compulsive readability, and restless experimentation with form and genre. Knausgård and the Autofictional Novel explains why. Across four chapters, Claus Elholm Andersen shows how Knausgård confronts, challenges, and rejects the symbiotic relationship between novels and fiction, particularly via a technique of "auto-fictionalization." The fifth chapter then explores the further breakdown of this relationship in autofiction by Sheila Heti, Rachel Cusk, and Ben Lerner, taking readers to what Lerner called "the very edge of fiction."
The Therapeutic Turn
In what ways has psychology become more influential in Western society? In this book author Ole Jacob Madsen considers the notion of a ‘Therapeutic Turn’ in Western culture – the tendency for psychology to permeate ever new spheres within society. The Therapeutic Turn evaluates the increasing prevalence of psychology in several areas of Western society: Western consumer culture, contemporary Christianity, self-help, sport and politics. Madsen proposes that there are problematic aspects to this development which are seldom recognised due to a widely held assumption that ‘the more psychology, the better for everyone’. A recurring concern with psychological solutions is that they ofte...
The International Reception of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson's poetry is known and read worldwide but to date there have been no studies of her reception and influence outside America. This collection of essays brings together international research on her reception abroad including translations, circulation and the responses of private and professional readers to her poetry in different countries. The contributors address key translations of individual poems and lyric sequences; Dickinson's influence on other writers, poets and culture more broadly; biographical constructions of Dickinson as a poet; the political cultural and linguistic contexts of translations; and adaptations into other media. It will appeal to all those interested in the international reception of Dickinson and nineteenth-century American literature more widely.

Suzanne Brøgger : samtalsmemoarer
I Alf van der Hagens samtalsbok bjuds läsaren in till ett av Skandinaviens mest märkvärdiga och framstående konstnärsliv. Suzanne Brøgger är författare och intellektuell, performancekonstnär och musiker, landsbygdsbo och vardagsmystiker, och i det stora hela en förkämpe för det fria ordet och det goda humöret. Mest känd är hon för den självbiografiska romantrilogin Crème Fraîche, Ja och Transparence. Brøgger har förverkligat 1970-talets slagord "det privata är politiskt" i ständigt nya former och livsfaser under mer än fyra decennier. Hon berättar för Alf van der Hagen om sitt arbete och privatliv, sin syn på skrivande och politik, feminism och metafysik och om litteraturens plats i ett alltmer kulturfientligt samhälle. Brøggers liv visar hur en stark Ja-vilja kan föra en människa både helskinnad och stärkt genom stora livskriser.

Suzanne Brøgger
Suzanne Brøgger i samtale med den norske kulturskribent Alf van der Hagen, men det er meget mere end Brøggers erindringer: Det er synspunkter på samfundsmæssige forandringer, kommentarer til eget forfatterskab, eksistentielle overvejelser, livsbetragtninger, holdninger og meninger. Suzanne Brøgger siger selv, at dette er den mest biografiske bog overhovedet og den eneste om hele hendes liv.
