SUMMARY:Meet the Author: The Copenhagen Trilogy
DESCRIPTION:The National Nordic Museum hosts an event to discuss the Copenhagen Trilogy. See event details below: \n\nJoin us to discuss The Copenhagen Trilogy by Danish author Tove Ditlevsen. In this talk\, translator Michael Favala Goldman as well as Professor Marianne Stecher-Hansen will discuss this courageous and honest trilogy from literary icon Tove Ditlevsen—a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing—which explores themes of family\, sex\, motherhood\, abortion\, addiction\, and being an artist. The talk will be moderated by Elizabeth DeNoma. \nTove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in twentieth century Danish literature. Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917\, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager\, and went on to write novels\, stories\, and memoirs before committing suicide in 1976. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class\, female writer\, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark’s most important modern authors\, with “Tove fever” gripping readers. The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. \nDitlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships\, family\, and growing up―in this sense\, it is Copenhagen’s answer to Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels.

SUMMARY:The Writers Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Some of us look at a piece of paper and it is blank; others of us look at the landscape of a blank page and are inspired to create. For close to a year\, our individual and collective imaginations have been fed by solitude\, by injustice\, and by the recognition that our communities of neighbors and friends are both vulnerable and resilient. How do we make sense of it? How do those who are inspired become inspired and use the power of imagination to connect us with ideas\, with each other\, and with the community to effect change? \n“The Writer’s Imagination” features current Poet Laureate of Easthampton\, poet/translator María José Giménez\, former Poet Laureate of Northampton\, poet/author Lesléa Newman\, and award-winning author and co-owner of Book Moon\, Kelly Link\, in conversation with poet/translator Michael Favala Goldman. Join this conversation about identifying sources of personal inspiration\, and how these authors have found ways to transform that inspiration into works that don’t just move us but resonate.

SUMMARY:Copenhagen Trilogy Book Launch & Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:American-Scandinavian Foundation invites you to a virtual panel discussion on Tove Ditlevsen’s The Copenhagen Trilogy\, in celebration of its publication in English translation by Tiina Nunnally and Michael Favala Goldman beginning January 26. In this event\, translator Michael Favala Goldman and authors Morten Høi Jensen (A Difficult Death)\, Rachel Kushner (The Mars Room)\, and Ben Lerner (The Topeka School) will discuss this courageous and honest trilogy from literary icon Tove Ditlevsen\, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing\, explores themes of family\, sex\, motherhood\, abortion\, addiction\, and being an artist. \nTove Ditlevsen is today celebrated as one of the most important and unique voices in 20th-century Danish literature. Born in a working-class neighborhood in Copenhagen in 1917\, Ditlevsen became famous for her poetry while still a teenager\, and went on to write novels\, stories and memoirs before committing suicide in 1976. Having been dismissed by the critical establishment in her lifetime as a working-class\, female writer\, she is now being rediscovered and championed as one of Denmark’s most important modern authors\, with “Tove fever” gripping readers\, and  The Copenhagen Trilogy (1969–71) is her acknowledged masterpiece. \nChildhood tells the story of a misfit child’s single-minded determination to become a poet; Youth describes her early experiences of sex\, work\, and independence. Dependency picks up the story as the narrator embarks on the first of her four marriages and goes on to describe her horrible descent into drug addiction\, enabled by her sinister\, gaslighting doctor-husband. Throughout\, the narrator grapples with the tension between her vocation as a writer and her competing roles as daughter\, wife\, mother\, and drug addict\, and she writes about female experience and identity in a way that feels very fresh and pertinent to today’s discussions around feminism. \n\n\nDitlevsen’s trilogy is remarkable for its intensity and its immersive depiction of a world of complex female friendships\, family and growing up―in this sense\, it’s Copenhagen’s answer to Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels. She can also be seen as a spiritual forerunner of confessional writers like Karl Ove Knausgaard\, Annie Ernaux\, Rachel Cusk and Deborah Levy. Her trilogy is drawn from her own experiences but reads like the most compelling kind of fiction\, and has been hailed as “admirable and shocking” (Margaret Quamme\, Booklist)\, and “mordant\, vibrantly confessional…a masterpiece” (Liz Jensen\, The Guardian) \nThe panel will take place as a Zoom webinar; questions can be shared in the chat or emailed in advance to info@amscan.org. \nThe Copenhagen Trilogy is out beginning January 26\, 2021 from Farrar\, Straus and Giroux. Learn more about the book and see how to purchase by clicking here. \nSupport has been provided by the Consulate General of Denmark in New York.

SUMMARY:Dependency: A story of impulse and addiction
DESCRIPTION:Join me at Smith College’s Poetry Center for a presentation of the Penguin Classic DEPENDENCY\, which I translated.  There will be refreshments followed by a reading and discussion of the book.\nDependency: A story of impulse and addiction\nTranslator Michael Favala Goldman picked up the memoir GIFT by renowned Danish writer Tove Ditlevsen in the Copenhagen Airport and made it into a Penguin Classic in 2019. He will read from his translation of GIFT (Dependency) and discuss his struggle with this unvarnished chronicle of Ditlevsen’s four failed marriages\, two back alley abortions and a near-fatal addiction to opioids while she was becoming a best-selling author.
