My Jewel Box

Nominated for the 2021 Nordic Council Literature Prize, MY JEWEL BOX (Mit smykkeskrin) marks the final installment of Ursula Andkjær Olsen's visionary trilogy, a "fairy tale of the universe" investigating grief, bodies, motherhood, and the physical and economic inequalities of modern planetary life. Rendered into diamond-sharp English by award-winning translator Katrine ÿgaard Jensen, MY JEWEL BOX mounts a cosmically human (and non-human) re-approach to a grief-stricken earth, a place of all times entangled. Poetry. Women's Studies.
