  • Résumé

  • The Norwegian novelist Vigdis Hjorth is a master of the collapsing relationship. In her twenty books, five of which have been translated into English, she turns her eye to estranged siblings, tormented lovers, demanding parents and disaffected colleagues with the same combination of philosophical penetration and sympathy. But she hasn’t always received the recognition afforded to her male peers. On this week’s episode, Toril Moi joins Malin to discuss Hjorth’s early reputation as an ‘erotic’ novelist and what that gets wrong about her work.
