REVIEW. That the poor Finnmark poet And andersson (1888-1920) camped a neo-bourgeois pacifist high Baptist snail from Östermalm, we knew this from biographies, such as Göran Greiders nice “The past is like a dream and I don’t understand the present” from 2008.
TO Marta Larsson Furthermore, it was a stable ping-pong that, through his great love and rapid maturation, marked his poetry, in fact the whole being during the most vulnerable years, has fallen into oblivion. It has been diminished and neglected.
Everything you need for a supportive marriage.
Until now. Thanks to the enormous number of letters he saved, Greider highlights his sad fate in “She whose heart was like mine.” Sad because they had respectful communication, complementary acquaintances, mutual understanding, a coherent view of the world around them, and canonical sex. Everything you need for a supportive marriage. At least that’s what it looks like.
Unfortunately, there was no marriage despite almost three years of patience. Her patched clothes and non-existent social status, her father’s grip and the conventions of class society, ground the rare peas in the meager mill of secret meetings. In the end, Dan can’t even afford the stamps.
Karln was able to compose to last a hundred years.
So what is true and what is probable in this documentary novel, as it describes itself? Unlike a historical novel, it is partly more responsible for the investigation and therefore captures the trophy of truth and partly blatantly distorts it through fiction.
We find a narrative driven by empathy that mixes the inventions of novel art with the questioning position of biography. At first, it gives the impression of a bad novel, but the book takes itself, worryingly, and ends as a readable and convincing contribution to its own genre and to the research of Dan Andersson.
Not least, I am pleased with the cuteness that can be seen in Dan Andersson’s letter. Here the image of an anxious contemporary chauvinist pretto with an inferiority complex and a need for affirmation is finally nuanced.
Karln was able to compose to last a hundred years. You could also genuinely love someone. Even the mythical poets of the forest are apparently ordinary people.
