Books of 2023
At the end of the year, I look through my diary where I note down the books, I have read this year and gather them in a list. I read quite a lot (this year, I’ve read 57 books) – naturally, some are better than others. Here are my favorites from 2023.
Tumblr media
Some of the books but not all because this year, I borrowed a lot of books from the library and from my friends who all have great taste.
Janet Malcolm: In the Freud archives (1984) and The journalist and the murderer (1989)
I’ve been introduced to many of my favorite authors by my friend Nanna, who in the beginning of this year lent me In the Freud archives, a journalistic encounter of a conflict in the psychoanalytic milieu in New York about Freud’s legacy, more specifically, about Freud’s relation to the seduction theory. The book reads like a crime novel while also asking fundamental psychoanalytic questions. Why does it matter so much what Freud thought about the seduction theory, I thought to myself at the beginning of the book. Quite a lot, it turns out. The journalist and the murderer changed the way I think about interviewing and representations, and I think everyone who works with written representations of people should read this. I’ve been schooled in thinking about ethnographic representations through a political and decolonial lens but The journalist made me think about it through psychoanalytical terms as well – the impossibility of representing others reflect the impossibility of knowing yourself fully.
Nell Dunn: Talking to women (1964)
I finished this book in January when I was on a writing retreat in Skagen at an old refugium. Outside, it was cold and windy, the days were short, I sat inside by my desk, attempting to finish an article. At night in bed, I read Talking to women, a collection of interviews Dunn made with women she knew about love, work, motherhood – in other words, about life. Although the interviews are from the early ïżœïżœ60s, they convey recognizable aspects of womanhood, both the pleasures and the pain. Dunn’s interview isn’t the detached style of a journalist or a sociologist but that of a friend: she intervenes, discusses, comforts her subjects, resulting in the interviews also demonstrating female friendships.
Elena Ferrante: Days of abandonment (2002)
This is the first Ferrante book I’ve read outside of the Neapolitan quartet. I think it’s one of the bravest books I’ve read about what love can do to you – I’ve written about the book’s qualities in another blogpost, so I won’t say much more about it, just that it shook me deeply with its painful depictions of betrayal, disappointment, and jealousy.
Henrik Pontoppidan: Lykke-Per (1898-1904)
My stepmum gifted me this book years ago but I’ve never gotten around to reading it until this summer, expecting it to be one of those boring classics you are forced to analyze in Danish class. I never heard much about it what it is actually about: the story’s hero, Lykke-Per, grows up the son of a very conservative priest in Western Jutland but early on rejects his family’s way of living, and decides to move to Copenhagen and study engineering. Here, he befriends several members of the establishment, makes great engineering plans for Denmark, and tries to marry into the bourgeoise and leave his background for good. However, in my opinion, the real hero of the book is Per’s fiancĂ©, Jakobe, the extremely intelligent daughter of a wealthy Jewish family who’s trying to find her way in the man-dominated world she feels uncomfortable in. It's a book both about the modernization of Denmark, as well as an existential story about getting what you want and then not wanting it, about human relationships, about antisemitism, about women’s struggles and a page turner? I think I’ll return to this book in the future.
Fleur Jaeggy: Sweet days of discipline (1991)
I love ominous books about communities of girls and women, and this was no exception. It takes place in a Swiss boarding school and is written in the first person, but the narrator remains elusive, impossible to grasp outside of the group of women. “When you’re in boarding school you imagine how grand and free the world is, and when you leave, you’d sometimes like to hear the sound of the school bell again”. More Fleur Jaeggy in 2024!
Malte Tellerup: SprĂŠng fabrikken (2023)
I couldn’t stop 1) thinking about this book and 2) telling everyone who would listen about it. It’s a very short book which a reviewer called ‘anti-literature’ – it’s about three young people living on a small farm where they experiment with regenerative agriculture when they are told that they will have to leave the land due to the neighboring chemical factory expanding. They give up their farming and instead start making bombs for attacking the factory. I’m planning on writing a separate post on this book, so I won’t say much more other than this being the best piece of ‘climate literature’ I have read.
Asta Olivia Nordenhof: DjĂŠvlebogen (2023)
Nordenhof was maybe the first contemporary author I read who demonstrated how literature can be political and personal at the same time with her poetry book “det nemme og det ensomme” (the easiness and the loneliness). I’ve longed for this book, the second in a planned septology, since she published the first one in 2020 and read it in one setting. It’s about the possibility of love under capitalism, about money, sex work, strange encounters and mixes the novel with poetry. Here’s (a badly translated) part of the poem which makes up the introduction in which she describes her troubles with writing the book:
“my motto/which I had forgotten/while I was struggling/to write a/real book/about the inner life of great men/my motto/here it is/it is simple/and great/fuck men!/when I remembered this/I remembered/that I can do/what I want.”
Natalia Ginzburg: All our yesterdays (1952)
Sally Rooney described this as a perfect novel, and I would agree. It’s about a family living in fascist Italy with the youngest girl of the family as the protagonist who however doesn’t take up more space in the novel than the rest of its characters which the novel follows through the Second World War as some of them join the resistance and others find other ways to cope with fascism. The novel explores the impact fascism and war have on different people, without viewing this as a reflection of essential character traits or depicting some as inherently evil and others as inherently good. Ginzburg has an eye for the small things that make up people – certain turns of phrases, bodily manners, temperaments – and the necessarily ever-changing relationships between them, writing about these with great feeling and humour. I enjoyed the way the novel treats politics and politicization not primarily through public life, but in the personal relationships of the characters.
I’m quite satisfied that only one (!) US-American author made it onto this list. Next year, I’d like to read more authors from the Global South and perhaps even more POETRY. I also want to continue reading the same books as my friends because literature is, truly, best when discussed with others. Until then, I’m off to buy champagne and lemons for New Year’s Eve – see you!

Poesin tar plats igen, först kom den danska poesivÄgen med poeter som Yahya Hassan, Olga Ravn och Asta Olivia Nordenhof. Debutsamlingarna hos det danska förlaget Gyldendal sÄlde snabbt slut och det tog inte lÄngt tid innan en poesidebatt blossade upp i Sverige. Var var den svenska poesivÄgen? Var poesin död? Fanns den? Och om inte, vems fel var det? Förlagens, författarnas, kultursidornas?
Ingen skyllde mig veterligen pÄ biblioteken, förutom vi sjÀlva. I skriften Synen pÄ skönlitteratur (2015) presenterades en enkÀt som visade att bibliotekspersonal i Sverige knappt lÀser poesi och att det var ovanligt med ett uttalat uppdrag kring poesin. DÄ sÄg det ut att vara illa stÀllt, men nu, ett drygt Är senare kan man nÀstan drista sig till att tala om en poesivÄg.
I vÄras kom 10TAL med ett temanummer om poesi och den nya poesins företrÀdare, som Anna Axfors och Elis Burrau. Bonniers har gett ut antologin Svensk Poesi pÄ över tusen sidor, Brombergs publicerar sedan nÄgra Är debutantologier under namnet BlÄ blixt och sÄvÀl stat som regioner och kommuner prioriterar poesiscenen pÄ olika sÀtt. Och kanske Àr det just som en scen, eller hÀndelser pÄ en scen, som vi behöver tÀnka pÄ poesin. Poesin utvecklas i mÄnga sammanhang: poetry slam, estradpoesi, bloggar, tidskrifter (10TAL, OEI, Ponton, LyrikvÀnnen, Ett lysande namn, PopulÀr poesi) och inte minst pÄ biblioteken.
Under 2016/2017 pÄgÄr den kulturrÄdsfinansierade fortbildningen LiSA, Lyrik i skönlitterÀrt arbete som LÀnsbibliotek Halland arrangerar i samarbete med Regionbibliotek Stockholm och Kultur i VÀst. HÀr fÄr bibliotekarier frÄn hela landet en rejÀl pÄfyllning av kunskaper och inspiration kring lÀsfrÀmjande arbete med poesi. HÀr knyts ocksÄ kontakter för ett fortsatt nationellt erfarenhetsutbyte. PÄ öppningstrÀffen reste gruppen till WanÄs skulpturparks Litteraturdagar och lyssnade pÄ bland andra Ann JÀderlund. DÀrefter workshoppades det med Magnus William-Olsson och skapades remixer, poesilistor och inlÀsningar.
Regionbiblioteket arrangerade tidigare under Ă„ret nĂ„gra trĂ€ffar kring poesi pĂ„ bibliotek dĂ€r medarbetare frĂ„n vĂ„rt lĂ€n fick ta del av tendenser, metoder och utveckla arbetet med poesi pĂ„ de egna biblioteken. Det var allt frĂ„n “Öppen scen” till poesibokcirklar, poesibingo med mera. Stockholms stadsbibliotek fick mersmak och har nu arrangerat en liknande fortbildning för sin egen personal. Även pĂ„ andra hĂ„ll i landet görs mycket spĂ€nnande kring poesi. I Varberg har man till exempel arbetat med lyrikcirklar för nyanlĂ€nda och i Halland tog biblioteksorganisationen över arrangerandet av poetry slam med lyckat resultat.
Den som arbetar med poesi pÄ bibliotek kommer troligen och förhoppningsvis i kontakt med sÄvÀl etablerade författare som amatörpoeter. Poesi Àr mer Àn boksamlingen och det finns mÄnga möjligheter för biblioteket att bredda arbetet med poesi. NÄgra exempel pÄ kÀllor som Àr fria att anvÀnda, exponera och spela upp i biblioteket:
‱ Podpoesi.nu – samtida poeter lĂ€ser upp sina egna dikter, möjlighet att skapa listor, samplingar med mera.
‱ Litteraturbanken.se och Lyrikskolan – hundratals fria verk i epub och pdf, mĂ„nga med handledningar.
‱ Lyrikcirkeln pĂ„ Bokcirklar.se. Varje cirkel inleds med en presentationstext och möjlighet att delta online eller att anvĂ€nda materialet pĂ„ egen hand, till exempel i bokcirklar pĂ„ biblioteket. Höstens cirklar handlar om Rut Hillarp, Henry Parland och Edith Södergran. Alla dikter finns fria pĂ„ Litteraturbanken.se. Biblioteket kan vara en brygga mellan att lĂ€sa dikter och deckare, mellan lĂ€sande och skrivande och mellan att skriva för byrĂ„lĂ„dan och att hitta en publik. Varför inte lĂ€gga in diktlĂ€sning i ett sprĂ„kcafĂ© eller skrivövningar i en bokcirkel?
För dig som söker kontakt med andra som utvecklar poesiarbetet Ă€r facebookgruppen “Poesi pĂ„ bibliotek” en bra plats att stĂ€lla frĂ„gor och fĂ„ tips. Och för dig som vill vĂ€cka din egen poetiska Ă„dra finns mĂ€ngder av övningar och appar att testa. SjĂ€lv har jag de senaste dagarna testat appen Haikujam. HĂ€r Ă€r det treradingar som gĂ€ller, en rad var av anonyma författare frĂ„n hela vĂ€rlden. En av dikterna blev sĂ„ hĂ€r:
Toast and coffee Sandwich and juice Paratha and dahi
SÄ öppnades vÀrlden lite den morgonen, lÄngt frÄn debatten om poesins status.
