”I am a poor human. A miserable human. A completely depraved human. I am sleepless as an owl, ugly as a witch, and white wine runs through my veins instead of blood. Furthermore, I am about to shit myself to death”. Tove Ditlevsen following the break-up with her last husband in 1973. Tove lived a sort of double life. Whilst Tove Ditlevsen the human was falling apart, Tove Ditlevsen the writer would sit in ”The Oval Room” to analyze and describe her life, in full serenity. It is obvious to ask whether Tove actually lived her life to live it, or to write about it.
