Love/War, Ebba Witt-Brattström //Translated by Kate Lambert.
So successful in its native Sweden that it has gone on to become both a play and an opera, Ebba Witt-Brattström’s debut novel, Love/War, was originally released in 2016, two years after her much publicised divorce from Swedish Academy chair, Horace Engdahl.
A novel of fragments, it is laid out in the form of a hate-filled discourse between the two protagonists, She and He. Peppered with cultural references and in homage to Strindberg as well as Märta Tikkanen, this powerful work from one of the founding members of the Feminist Initiative is unlike anything in contemporary literature right now. Please keep an eye out for our interview with the Ebba in our next bulletin.
Ebba Witt-Brattström is currently Professor of Nordic Literature at Helsinki University. She has written a number of academic texts and was one of the founding members of Feminist Initiative (commonly known as ‘the Swedish Feminist Party’). Love/War is Ebba’s first novel and was a huge success in Sweden, having been adapted as both a play and an opera.
