My Work

In this radical, funny, and mercilessly honest novel about motherhood, Anna is utterly lost after giving birth. She and her family move to the unfamiliar, snowy city of Stockholm. Anxiety threatens to completely engulf the new mother, who obsessively devours online news and buys clothes she can’t afford. To avoid sinking deeper into her depression, Anna forces herself to read and write.

'My work' is a novel about the unique and fundamental experience of motherhood: it mixes fiction, essays, poetry, memoir, and letters to explore the thorny, twisted ties between pregnancy, maternity, capitalism, work, art, individuality, and literature.
