“Tack och hej leverpastej” A collection of essays

Elisabeth Åsbrink best and most original essays all collected in one book. About being friends with a genius (Lars Norén), about an embroidery full of swastikas, about ethnopluralism, about love or about the peace-damaged Swede: the topics are both wide open for interpretation and offer resistance, the argumentation both funny and sharp.

REVIEWS

”Elisabeth Åsbrink is a voice I would not want to be without in the Swedish contemporary world. She is fearless, analytically sharp, articulate and personal without being private. She is interested in the big, existential questions and touches without hesitation both personal and societal pain points.” Dagens Nyheter

”The purchase of a Danish embroidered painting with motifs from the Second World War, for example, becomes an essay on memory work and Danish women’s collective trauma processing of the years of occupation. Åsbrink’s language gravitates towards the poetic and she has found new, creative entrances, to old questions. Her lyrical tone provokes thought and effects emotions.” Bibliotekstjänst
