Description
A collection of essays about literature, philosophy, fashion, and fashion photography. Sara Danius is a landmark figure in contemporary Sweden’s culture: professor of aesthetics and literary studies, member of the Swedish Academy, and the first woman to serve as permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, cultural journalist, and author of a number of major scholarly works. For more than twenty years she has regularly written essays across the widest thematic range for the newspaper Dagens Nyheter and other publications.
Literature and philosophy, artistic glass and ceramics, fashion and fashion photography—these are only some of her subjects. All of Sara Danius’s texts, regardless of what she studies, are distinguished by depth of analysis, sharpness and precision of phrasing, clarity and ease of style, a combination of wide perspective with attention to the smallest details, and, inevitably, humor—so they will be interesting to a very broad audience.
