Therese Bohman Andromeda recensie en review
Reviews, recensies en waardering van voorgaande boeken van Therese Bohman.
- “Eventide is full of damn fine writing, but it’s the novel’s irreverent attitude toward feminism that makes it as challenging as it is necessary to read.” (Los Angeles Review of Books)
- “Bohman perceptively explores the constraints facing a female professor in the academic world…compelling, nuanced, at times comical.” (Newsweek, Best Books of the Year)

Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van de Zweedse schrijfster Therese Bohman
Working her way up at a storied Stockholm publisher, a young woman develops an ambiguous, shifting relationship with her boss, in this shrewd novel about the tension between tradition and modernity, and expectations and reality.
The publishing house is anchored like a ship along Stockholm’s main street, a large, bright building with an impressive rooftop terrace. The facade is a grid of wood and granite; flags with a cursive R sway in the wind. R as in Rydéns.
A young woman starts as an intern at this venerated institution, and over many years gains more and more responsibility for its authors and books. All under the supervision of Gunnar, publishing director of the most prestigious imprint behind the finest literature, Andromeda.
Over time their work relationship transforms into something neither of them can truly define. Perhaps built on mutual trust? Or is it something else?
