Rave reviews for "My Men" in Sweden

November 21 2023

Victoria Kielland’s dazzling novel My Men has come out to rave reviews in Sweden, published by Natur & Kultur and translated by Jonas Rasmusen.

A selection of reviews:

“This is a literary tour de force, and one of the most effective portrayals of a fundamentally fractured psyche I’ve ever read.” – Per Klingberg, Göteborgs-Posten

“An extraordinary literary experience!” – Titti Schültz, SVT Go’kväll

“Kielland doesn’t over-explain the protagonist’s motivations or psychoanalyse the course of events. She allows the story, the language, and the reader to find their own ways.” – Lisa Marques Jagemark, Borås Tidning

“My Men is an introspective portrayal from inside the mind of a woman who has dissolved the boundaries between love and hate and who is slowly descending into an ever-deepening madness.” – Annina Rabe, Tidningen Vi

More information about the book (now sold to 16 languages) can be found here and on Natur och kultur’s website.

Congratulations to the author, publisher, and translator!
