Tove Ditlevsen: Ditlevsen, T: Vilhelm's Room, Fester Einband

Klappentext

A searing final novel about the collapse of a marriage and its aftermath, by the author of the modern classic Copenhagen Trilogy . I want to write a book about Vilhelm's room and the events which took place in it, or arose from it; those that led to Lise's death, which I have survived only so that I might write down the story of her and Vilhelm . . . The ripples from a breakup radiate outward from the room where a married couple once loved each other, and a bizarre Lonely Hearts ad sets off a train of tragicomic events that leads to an inevitable conclusion. Vilhelm's Room, Tove Ditlevsen's final novel-published a year before her untimely death in 1976-is a powerful conclusion to an extraordinary life as a poet, novelist, and memoirist: a blackly funny and devastating tour de force that pulses with life even as it journeys toward death.
