"Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to 'civilize' us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become overdomesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped." In her now-classic bo...

I flera år har Olof Lagercrantz studerat Marcel Proust och hans stora mästerverk På spaning efter den tid som flytt.

I den här boken sammanfattar han sin läsning på det sensibla och engagerande sätt vi känner från hans tidigare böcker.

An assemblage of reflections on the nature of writing and the writer from one the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Throughout Hemingway’s career as a writer, he maintained that it was bad luck to talk about writing—that it takes off “whatever butterflies have on their wings and the arrangement of hawk’s feathers if you show it or talk about it.” Despite this belief, by the end of his life he had done just what he intended not to do.

One of the most talked-about scholarly works of the past fifty years, Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble is as celebrated as it is controversial. Arguing that traditional feminism is wrong to look to a natural, 'essential' notion of the female, or indeed of sex or gender, Butler starts by questioning the category 'woman' and continues in this vein with examinations of 'the masculine' and 'the feminine'. Best known however, but also most often misinterpreted, is Butler's concept of gender as a reit...

Under några år på sextiotalet var Lars Gustafsson redaktör för en litterär tidskrift, och refuserade då naturligtvis stora mängder av poesi.

Den här lilla boken innehåller Lars Gustafssons svar. Dikturvalet som ligger till grund för dessa analyser sträcker sig från Stormaktstidens allra tidigaste poesi till v...

Vad är denna effekt, utan vilken texten vore en hop döda bokstäver? I en studie som börjar i den tyska romantikens 1790-tal - Goethe, Schlegel, Novalis - och slutar hos det sena 1900-talets solitärer - Beckett, Ekelöf, Blanchot - visar Horace Engdahl hur den moderna diktkonsten kan beskrivas som en permanent men föränderlig kris i f...

Vem är jag? Det kanske snarare är en fråga vi ställer till oss själva, än om det vi läser. Greppet att berätta i första person är lika gammalt som litteraturen själv, och inte något vi tänker på särskilt mycket. Just därför kanske det är extra befogat att då och då fråga sig: vem är jag? De senaste åren har den litterära debatten i landet till stor del handlat om sanning kontra lögn, sjävbiografi kontra fiktion, och allt har kretsat kring vem i texten som egentligen tal...

I alla tider har litteraturen i vissa ögonblick ställts inför det radikalt osägbara, upplevelser av personlig kris, anförvanters och älskandes död, ofattbar ondska eller tvivel på att livet har någon mening. Att det är osägbart har inte hindrat författare att uttrycka det, som tystnad, stumhet , förtvivlan eller bävan. I den moderna litteraturen har det utvecklats en tradition av "poetisk nihilism" som härrör ur ett utbrett tvivel på den kristna gudens existens och livets mening...
