Sober, Sensual, Fearless and Macabre — Hvidovre Hovedbibliotek, Hvidovre

This is how the critic from Informations describes Amalie Langballe's novel, set in a brothel in a plague-ridden kingdom in an unspecified past. "Unsentimental" encompasses a combination of the sober, the sensual, the fearless and the macabre.

On stage, Amalie Langballe speaks with literature mediator Rolf Sparre Johansson about how a story of sex work and plague sores can be about love, and what to make of the novel's magical and fairy-tale elements.
