Summary
Trilogia de Copenhaguen recull els tres llibres de memòries —Infància， Joventut i Dependència— de Tove Ditlevsen， una de les veus més importants i singulars de la literatura danesa。 Extraordinàriament honesta i vulnerable， pionera de l’inclassificable gènere confessional， l’escriptora explora temes com la família， el sexe， la maternitat， l’avortament， l’adicció i el fet de ser artista， i narra la tensió constant， de ben petita， entre la seva vocació d’escriptora i la seva condició de filla， dona， mare i， més tard， drogoaddicta。 Infantesa ens presenta una nena rebel i tossuda， obsessionada amb convertir-se en una gran poeta; a Joventut hi descriu les primeres experiències sexuals， i professionals， i l’alliberament que li suposa independitzar-se de la família。 A Dependència， el llibre més devastador de la trilogia， ens narra la seva baixada als inferns a través dels seus tres primers marits （en va tenir quatre）: Viggo F。， a qui no estimava; Ebbe， de qui es va enamorar apassionadament i amb qui va tenir un fill， i Carl， un metge sinistre i destructiu que la va portar a la seva addicció a les drogues。 Per sobre de tot， però， Ditlevsen parla amb cruesa de la seva lluita per combatre les seves adiccions més profundes: l’acceptació dels altres， l’escriptura i l’amor。

Kol kas - viena geriausių šių metų knygų。 Nebuvo smūginė， bet buvo lėtai， labai pamažu vis labiau slegianti， gąsdinanti ir tiesiog liūdna。 Autofikcija before it was knausgarūl， parašyta 7 ir 8 dešimtmečiais。Gėda， bet apie Tove Ditlevsen nežinojau visiškai nieko， knygą nusipirkau pagal aprašymą Eurekoje。 Skaičiau ir galvojau: kartais nori sužinot apie kokį žmogų， pasižiūri wikipedijoj - ištekėjusi ir išsiskyrusi keturis kartus， keliskart gulėjusi psichiatrijos ligoninėj， nusižudė。 Ir visa tai vis Kol kas - viena geriausių šių metų knygų。 Nebuvo smūginė， bet buvo lėtai， labai pamažu vis labiau slegianti， gąsdinanti ir tiesiog liūdna。 Autofikcija before it was knausgarūl， parašyta 7 ir 8 dešimtmečiais。Gėda， bet apie Tove Ditlevsen nežinojau visiškai nieko， knygą nusipirkau pagal aprašymą Eurekoje。 Skaičiau ir galvojau: kartais nori sužinot apie kokį žmogų， pasižiūri wikipedijoj - ištekėjusi ir išsiskyrusi keturis kartus， keliskart gulėjusi psichiatrijos ligoninėj， nusižudė。 Ir visa tai vis vien lieka faktais， kurie gali būt įdomūs pasiskaityti， bet kas už jų - retai kada įsivaizduosi， net jei ir turi bent kuo artimų patirčių。 Ditlevsen memuarai užpildo tuos plikus faktus， iš tiesų už jų pamatai žmogų， ir tuo pat metu - vis tiek tai autofikcija - pamatai， kaip jis ar ji rašo save， iš savo gyvenimo faktų sukuria pasakojimą。 Radikaliai įspūdinga versija - Coetzee's trilogija， tik ji išties radikali， literatūrizuota。 Ditlevsen skausmingesnė， gal kad tikresnė; mano skaitytų autobiografijų hierarchijoj ji stoja šalia Coetzee's。Čia - labai gera apžvalga apie visas tris knygas - "Vaikystę"， "Jaunystę" ir "Priklausomybę" （negi Coetzee ne iš jos įsikvėpė？？）。 Man didžiausią įspūdį paliko du dalykai:1。 Apžvalgos autoriaus Also minimas atsitapatinimas， kaip ji rašo apie save šaltais， atitolintais sakiniais， be jokių didelių paaiškinimų， racionalizavimų ar bandymų suprasti， perteikti save。 Atrodo， su savo gyvenimu ji elgiasi visai taip， kaip ir kalbėdavo apie kūrybą: tiesiog norėdavo sėsti ir rašyti， formuoti sakinius。 Taip ir čia - ji turėjo medžiagą istorijai， tą istoriją ir papasakojo。 Ir tas atsitapatinimas toks be pozos， toks nepretenzingas， kad net šiurpas pereina。2。 Tai， kaip ši autobiografija nėra tikslinga。 Kalbant apie žanrą visada pabrėžiama， kad tai judėjimas link kažko， link "to， kas yra dabar"， tai parodymas， kaip žmogus tapo tuo， kas yra （nu kaip Rousseau daugmaž）。 Pas Ditlevsen to nėra， tu net neįsivaizduoji， kur ji juda， ką ji nori paaiškinti - gal nieko ir nenori。 Paskutinė knyga， angliškai pavadinta "Priklausomybė"， išvis pirmoj daly nekalba apie jokią priklausomybę - tik apie šeimyninį gyvenimą; Alsas sako， kad tai irgi galima suprast kaip priklausymą - nuo šeimos vaizdinio， žmonos vaidmens。 Tik antroj daly jau staiga kala švirkštai ir dingsta sąmonė。 Ir paskutiniai sakiniai:I was rescued from my years of addiction， but ever since， the shadow of the old longing still returns faintly if I have to have a blood test， or if I pass a pharmacy window。 It will never disappear completely for as long as I live。 （p。 370） Gražu， kad knygoje nepaeksploatuotas faktas， jog ji paskui ir nusižudė perdozavusi migdomųjų。 Knyga vis dar baigiasi ta neišvengiamybės nuojauta， ir vis tik tiki， kad - jei jau ji sugebėjo viską sudėti į tiek teksto - gal sugebės ir pajudėti tolyn nuo tos priklausomybės？ Paskui wikipedijoj sužinai sausą faktą， kad ne， iki galo taip ir nepavyko。Apie vaikystę - vis prisimenu， kaip viena draugė sakė， kad vaikystė juk žmonėms yra metas， į kurį turbūt visiems norisi sugrįžti。 Tada kažkaip krūptelėjau ir pasijutau fryke， tai paskui tokie pasažai kaip Ditlevsen - kažkaip kaip peiliu:Childhood is long and narrow like a coffin， and you can't get out of it on your own。 It's there all the time and everyone can see it just as clearly as you can see Pretty Ludvig's harelip。 [。。。] Everything that is ugly of unfortunate is called beautiful， and no one knows why。 You can't get out of childhood， and it clings to you like a bad smell。 You don't recognize your own and sometimes you're afraid that it's worse than others'。 You're standing talking to another girl whose childhood smells of coal and ashes， and suddenly she takes a step back because she has noticed the terrible stink of your childhood。 On the sly， you observe the adults whose childhood lies inside them， torn and full of holes like a used and moth-eaten rug no one thinks about anymore or has any use for。 You can't tell by looking at them that they've had a childhood， and you don't dare ask how they managed to make it through without their faces getting deeply scarred and marked by it。 You suspect that they've used some secret shortcut and donned their adult form many years ahead of time。 They did it one day when they were home alone and their childhood lay like three bands of iron around their heart， like Iron Hans in Grimms' fairy tale， whose bands broke only when his master was freed。 But if you don't know such a shortcut， childhood must be endured and trudged through hour by hour， through an absolutely interminable number of years。 （p。 27-28） Ir tas vargas， skurdas ir tai， kaip jame auga vaikas。 Ditlevsen augo darbininkų šeimoj， nuolat gyvenančioj iš pašalpų， dirbo nuo keturiolikos， nes tėvai negalėjo jos leisti į mokyklą。 Perskaitai， kaip per konfirmaciją （paskutinį jos vaikystės pavasarį， kaip ji rašo） mama nuperka batukus ir sako: čia paskutiniai batai， kuriuos mes tau perkame （p。 82）， ir net sustingsti。 Iškart supranti， kuriai klasei pati priklausai ir kiek pagrįstai gali pasakot， kad vaikystėj buvo sunku， kad tėvai neturėjo pinigų ir ttt。 Čia - kito lygmens skurdas， tas， kuris jau veikia ir kalbą， žodžius， bendravimą ir tai， kokiu žmogum užaugi。 Ne kokia nors Martino Ideno oportunistinė istorija。Arba kaip keliolikmetė mergaitė， prasimokiusi spausdinti ir dirbanti sekretore， sulaukia pirmos savo eilėraščio publikacijos paprastučiam laikraštyje， džiaugiasi， ir ją ant kilimėlio išsikviečia direktorius ir už tą eilėraštį （ne kokį nors politinį， tiesiog eilėraščio faktą） išmeta。Arba kaip ji， keliolikmetė， susipažįsta su leidėju， kuris galbūt paims spausdinti jos eilėraštį į jaunimo žurnaliuką， jis pasikviečia ją kavos ir ji grįžusi jau planuoja， kaip vasarą leis su juo ir paskui už jo ištekės。 Ir。。。 po daugelio puslapių - išteka。Arba kaip jau susituokus vyras， tas leidėjas， su ja praktiškai nebendrauja， ji neturi už ką nusipirkti drabužių， o kai juos kur nors kas pakviečia， jis važiuoja tramvajumi， o ji dviračiu iš paskos。Arba jos vaikai， abortai ir vėl vaikai， tikintis prie savęs prisirišti vaiko tėvą， turintį neišsenkančią priėjimą prie leidžiamų nuskausminamųjų。Ir visame tame - šalta， kone nulinio laipsnio kalba， nieko nesitikint， neieškant jokio modelio， jokio literatūrinio siužeto。 Pagalvojau apie Sylvią Plath - net ir ji palyginti atrodo tokia pozuojanti， išskaičiuojanti。 Pas Ditlevsen - neįtikėtina kombinacija kraštutinumų ir tiesiog nelaimės kupino gyvenimo ir bet kokio santykio su juo atsisakymas， neprašymas nei užjausti， nei gailėti， nei stebėtis。Dabar ieškosiu jos romanų ir eilėraščių。 Viena svarbiausių Danijos rašytojų， kaip sako blurbsai， o nieko neturim išversto :（ 。。。more

Phenomenal- Tove is the poet I never thought I needed。 I've always thought that poets write the best memoirs， because it's simply a fact。 I'm astounded by her life from childhood to youth to dependency; her reflections on love and loss， her steadfastness in a patriarchal world that can't accept the complexity of women as artists beyond the domestic realm and even into， perhaps - the fantastical realm of poetry， her praise of childhood dreaminess as an anecdote to those subtle fears of upbringing Phenomenal- Tove is the poet I never thought I needed。 I've always thought that poets write the best memoirs， because it's simply a fact。 I'm astounded by her life from childhood to youth to dependency; her reflections on love and loss， her steadfastness in a patriarchal world that can't accept the complexity of women as artists beyond the domestic realm and even into， perhaps - the fantastical realm of poetry， her praise of childhood dreaminess as an anecdote to those subtle fears of upbringing， her love of human hearts and emotive expression over superficiality。 I would not compare her to Knausgaard in the domain of Scandinavian literature （or "autofiction"）， for she reaches far beyond。 For a poet， her language is confoundingly precise and forceful。 She's a Scandinavian Sylvia Plath - the same sort of global sensitivity （I was interested about how she was one of the few individuals in her town in Copenhagen who was against Nazi invasion- no wonder she felt so alienated）。I am thrilled to have read this book， I couldn't put it down， and while it was heart-wrenching in every way possible， it was one of the most utterly profound works I have read in my life。 I absolutely will read her poetry。 。。。more

"Wherever you turn， you run up against your childhood and hurt yourself because it's sharp-edged and hard， and stops only when it has torn you completely apart"。Childhood is that trailing shadow we forever try to leave behind。 The coldness and melancholy which we inherit as children shall never leave us as they become attached to our bones。 Tove Ditlevsen writes a haunting memoir， taking us through different phases of life， from her childhood through her adult years till she turns an addict。 Wit "Wherever you turn， you run up against your childhood and hurt yourself because it's sharp-edged and hard， and stops only when it has torn you completely apart"。Childhood is that trailing shadow we forever try to leave behind。 The coldness and melancholy which we inherit as children shall never leave us as they become attached to our bones。 Tove Ditlevsen writes a haunting memoir， taking us through different phases of life， from her childhood through her adult years till she turns an addict。 Without any grand narratives， adornments or sophistication in language， Tove leaves an unsettling reverberation through her hauntingly honest words。 How often is that the story of another person affects us so much that the words brings in pricking memories of little things we saw and heard in our childhood？ Tove， as a child found an exit in words。 Left me wondering about the childhood of people who keeps inside them a towering pile of words only to lose them to the void。 Between the themes of memory， childhood and identity of a female writer， Tove leaves a very relatable longing for 'belonging'。 A definable space to belong to。 The book left me drained and unsettled。 Tove's writing took me back to Robert Bolano's quote。 " The truth is we never stop being children， terrible children covered in sores and knotty veins and tumors and age spots， but ultimately children， in other words we never stop clinging to life because we are life"。 。。。more

Ditlevsen was born in 1917， and these three memoirs （published in the original Danish in 1969 and 1971） cover her childhood and youth in between the two World Wars as well as her four marriages and drug addiction。 Childhood reminded me a bit of My Brilliant Friend， the first volume of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Trilogy， with a dash of Knut Hamsun's Hunger。 Those are novels， however， and for those who enjoy reading "tough childhood" memoirs perhaps The Glass Castle and Educated are better contem Ditlevsen was born in 1917， and these three memoirs （published in the original Danish in 1969 and 1971） cover her childhood and youth in between the two World Wars as well as her four marriages and drug addiction。 Childhood reminded me a bit of My Brilliant Friend， the first volume of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Trilogy， with a dash of Knut Hamsun's Hunger。 Those are novels， however， and for those who enjoy reading "tough childhood" memoirs perhaps The Glass Castle and Educated are better contemporary American points of comparison。 I was quite fascinated by the first two books and the ways in which Ditlevsen felt that she had to conform with the expectations of society and her parents of finding a man （preferably one with a trade and who is less likely to become unemployed， unlike her socialist father）。 However， I found myself feeling less sympathy after she achieves a measure of literary success and fame yet goes from one bad marriage to another while still in her 20s and early 30s。 Interestingly， the Danish title of the third volume could literally be translated as "marriage" or "poison，" and sadly it seems she became dependent/addicted to both， eventually taking her own life with an overdose in 1976。 。。。more

Such a well written book！ You can tell she’s a poet （and a damn good one） from the way the words melt so easily into your consciousness。 The book was essentially her telling her life story。 Now， that story is pretty damn tragic at times and at the end of the book I felt physically unwell reading it （because she talks about being an addict in a way that is frank and real and frightening）。 The book was depressing yet there were moments of peacefulness that kept it from being totally soul sucking。 Such a well written book！ You can tell she’s a poet （and a damn good one） from the way the words melt so easily into your consciousness。 The book was essentially her telling her life story。 Now， that story is pretty damn tragic at times and at the end of the book I felt physically unwell reading it （because she talks about being an addict in a way that is frank and real and frightening）。 The book was depressing yet there were moments of peacefulness that kept it from being totally soul sucking。 It’s a very difficult read， mainly because it is so well written that you can’t not look her life and her words straight in the eye。 I feel more pessimistic about the state of life after this。 And the author is such a fascinating human being， one I relate to a frightening amount but who I also think is nothing like me。 I highly highly recommend this book but also it is a lot。 It’s the first book I’ve read to make me physically uncomfortable。 Some parts made me want to unzip my skin and escape。 And that comes from that beautiful writing and the the disturbingly powerful life Tove lived。 So I think you should read it， but be warned that it is hard to read。 。。。more

It seems to me that this story will eventually hold much more importance once Ditlevsen has been dead for a couple generations。 Her story seems quite tame today when you compare it to some of the bizarre "tell alls" that serve today as the memoirs of cutting edge story tellers。 It is an enjoyable listen that does give some insights into life in the early 20th century for a talented writer。 It seems to me that this story will eventually hold much more importance once Ditlevsen has been dead for a couple generations。 Her story seems quite tame today when you compare it to some of the bizarre "tell alls" that serve today as the memoirs of cutting edge story tellers。 It is an enjoyable listen that does give some insights into life in the early 20th century for a talented writer。 。。。more

Ditlevsen was born in Vesterbro， Copenhagen， in 1917， the daughter of a fretful， socially ambitious mother and a socialist father who was fired from one job after another for his politics。 Their down-at-heel neighbourhood is full of drunks， and the future for Ditlevsen is – at best – one of marriage to a “stable skilled worker”。 Already， though， there were traces of the mental illness that will shipwreck her adult life， with a suffocating sense of melancholy settling over her childhood。Ditlevsen Ditlevsen was born in Vesterbro， Copenhagen， in 1917， the daughter of a fretful， socially ambitious mother and a socialist father who was fired from one job after another for his politics。 Their down-at-heel neighbourhood is full of drunks， and the future for Ditlevsen is – at best – one of marriage to a “stable skilled worker”。 Already， though， there were traces of the mental illness that will shipwreck her adult life， with a suffocating sense of melancholy settling over her childhood。Ditlevsen is an unusually solemn young woman – she has few friends， and those she does have appear unknowably foreign， uncomfortably interchangeable。 “Childhood，” she writes， “is long and narrow like a coffin， and you can’t get out of it on your own。” Rather than play in the courtyard of her tenement block， Ditlevsen prefers to read and write poems。 This is， in part， a Künstelerroman， seeking traces of future literary stardom in the early life。 Childhood ends， beautifully， thus: “My childhood falls silently to the bottom of my memory， that library of the soul from which I will draw knowledge and experience for the rest of my life。”One of the many semi-miraculous elements of Ditlevsen’s prose， which appears at first glance breezily artless， is the way she’ll settle on an object and rub her characters up against it， grounding them in the physicality of her world。 So she writes that “my mother’s dark anger always ended in her slapping my face or pushing me against the stove”。 But then her father is “big and black and old like the stove， but there is nothing about him that I’m afraid of”。 And， finally， a page later， the stove becomes a point of solidity as her childhood rushes by: “The living room sails through time and space， and the fire roars in the stove。”The affectless prose is interrupted by glorious poetical flourishes， and these bursts of lyricism are more than merely ornamental。 The books handle time by stepping between the present tense and the past so that， as in the work of Knausgaard， we move kaleidoscopically from minutely observed particularities to the broad sweep of a life。 “Time passed and my childhood grew thin and flat， paperlike，” she writes at one point。The rise of Nazism makes her feel “as if the swells from the great ocean of the world could capsize my fragile little ship at any moment”。 She aborts a child because it will get in the way of her writing， and says: “I don’t regret what I did， but in the dark， tarnished corridors of my mind there is a faint impression， like a child’s footprints in damp sand。”buy now with discount : https://payhip。com/b/ylaJ 。。。more
