A wave of literature written with particular sensitivity

In this film, Tue Andersen Nexø, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Copenhagen, speaks with two younger authors, Anna Rieder and Sebastian Nathan, who write poetry and prose, often drawing on their own experiences of being hospitalized in psychiatric wards. The recordings were made at the Center for Art and Mental Health, where the two authors teach creative writing to others. In spring 2025, Tue Andersen Nexø will publish the book "Fælles liv – utopiske modbilleder til velfærdsstaten i ny dansk litteratur", which explores the literary movement that Rieder and Nathan are also a part of.
