The final volume in the renowned Danish poet Tove Ditlevsens autobiographical Copenhagen Trilogy ("A masterpiece" -The Guardian). Following Childhood and Youth, Dependency is the searing portrait of a womans journey through love, friendship, ambition, and addiction, from one of Denmarks most celebrated twentieth century writersTove is only twenty, but she's already famous, a published poet, and the wife of a much older literary editor. Her path in life seems set, yet she has no idea of the struggles ahead-love affairs, wanted and unwanted pregnancies, artistic failure, and destructive addiction. As the years go by, the central tension of Tove's life comes into painful focus: the terrible lure of dependency, in all its forms, and the possibility of living freely and fearlessly-as an artist on her own terms.The final volume in the Copenhagen Trilogy, and arguably Ditlevsen's masterpiece, Dependency is a dark and blisteringly honest account of addiction, and the way out.
