Such a visual novel, felt like reading a screenplay. I loved the familiarity of writing, how you saw so deeply into each character's thoughts. Very enjoyable read, thanks for the ARC!

This was such a charming and relatable story. I loved the focus on the way we all fixate on things and their meanings, and how different we may think things are from the way they are intended. I also loved the discussion around art and the need to create. The interactions were depicted so uniquely and I really enjoyed the narrative style. This story lost me a little with the sections towards the end from Dante, Bush, and de Man, I felt it was a bit too meta and the book would have been better without them.

mam wrażenie że ta książka jest strasznie bezcelowa i autorce gdzieś miedzy złapaniem konceptu na powieść a jej napisaniem uciekł cały sens

“All knowledge about the world is mediated. We are all logs floating around in water.”
If Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway met Sally Rooney’s Beautiful world where are you, and they made a book baby—this would be it. Witty with the occasional biting sarcasm. This book was both relatable and unimaginable. I particularly recommend for fans of lit/lit theory who want to take themselves a tad less seriously. :)
4.5 stars, rounded down, because despite how much I loved this, I found the translation (I presume?) a bit clunky.

What a lovely, meandering, quirky introspection.

Morsom og kreativ i innhold, språk og komposisjon
Ikke helt den store leseopplevelsen for meg, litt langtekkelig og poengløs for at jeg lot meg rive med

Czekaj, mrugaj to chyba moje pierwsze całkowicie nieudane spotkanie z literaturą skandynawską. Powieść Norweżki nie tyle mnie nie zachwyciła, co wprawiła w konsternację. Książka zawiera historie, opowiedziane naprzemiennie, których bohaterkami są kobiety, każda z nich na swego rodzaju rozdrożu. Jest młodziutka Sigrid, która zakochuje się w znanym pisarzu, jest artystka Trine, która podczas swojego performance spostrzega, że macierzyństwo odgrywa w jej życiu większą rolę, niż sądziła, spotykamy także Linneę, reżyserkę, która udaje się na spotkanie z byłym kochankiem. W powieści pojawiają się także historie zbudowane na przypadku, jak na przykład utrata zęba przez Vigga, która doprowadzi do spotkania z dziewczyną, którą poznał przelotnie na pogrzebie babci.
