A big sister descends into the family basement. Another sister refuses her younger brother. A third sister with memory loss is on the run and offered shelter by Notpla, a man both an ally and an enemy. A fourth set of siblings travel to Hungary with their late mother in a coffin. They each have a different version of their mothers story. Drawing on the likes of August Strindberg, Franz Kafka, Andrej Kurkov, Knut Hamsun, T.S. Eliot, Béla Tarr, and Hieronymus Bosch, Scaveniuss universe is chilling and excruciatingly seductive. In it, nothing can be said to be true anymore. After all, anything can be propaganda today. Praise for The Dolls Here is a writer of extremely unusual imaginative powers. I found myself completely entranced. This is one of the most extraordinary pieces of writing Ive ever read Editors Pick, BBC Radio 4 From a Rear Window-like position, a girl in a wheelchair watches extremely sinister happenings at a refugee centre with her complicit parents while her sister refuses to leave the basement of their house. A woman seeks refuge from the ever-present threat of war or the chaos of climate change with a man whose identity is as unclear as his intentions These are artful, singular stories which, with rigorous inventiveness of language and technique, vividly evoke the calamities that form our nightmares The Irish Times Fiercely anti-establishment and addictively macabre. The translation is appropriately atmospheric: Jennifer Russell has done a marvellous job of weaving the narrative seamlessly between an almost dreamlike lyricism and a grisly reality Translating Women Scaveniuss book is filled with impressive observation and uncomfortable characters, all bound together by her peculiarnand gritty prose, beautifully told in Russells immaculate translation Asymptote A dilute wash of watercolour exposes the terrifying images and themes underneath Emerging from Scavenius world, we recognise the cruelty and threat and bewilderment as not only the domain of the world shes writing from, but also a powerful and poetic compression of where we live Exacting Clam Ursula Scavenius is one of the most exciting Danish short story writers at work today. The Dolls, in Jennifer Russells magnificent translation, is a literary page-turner: haunting, mesmerizing, and unforgettable in all its grotesque glory Katrine gaard Jensen Scaveniuss dystopian narratives are hard to put down, recalling both historical crimes and current crises Information URSULA SCAVENIUS is a writer based in Copenhagen.
