"Winner of the August Prize, Sweden's most prestigious literary award: a novel about a perfectly reasonable woman's descent into the delusions of unrequited love. Ester Nilsson is a sensible person in a sensible relationship. Until the day she is asked to give a lecture on famous artist Hugo Rask. The man himself is in the audience, intrigued and clearly delighted by her fascination with him. When the two meet afterward, she is spellbound. Ester's life is then intrinsically linked to this meeting and the chain of events that unfolds. She leaves her boyfriend and throws herself into an imaginary relationship with Hugo. She falls deeply in love, and he consumes her thoughts. Indeed, in her own mind she's sure that she and Hugo are a couple. Slowly and painfully Ester comes to realize that her perception of the relationship is different from his. She's a woman who prides herself on having a rational and analytical mind, but in the face of her overpowering feelings for Hugo, she is too clever and too honest for her own good. Bitingly funny and darkly fascinating, Willful Disregard is a story about total and desperate devotion, and how willingly we betray ourselves in the pursuit of love"--… (més)

You need to read my old review of this book first because you need to understand why I reread a book I've spent three year thinking was overrated and dumb. Because when I read it three years ago I didn't get it, at all. I had been single for eight years and hadn't attempted any dating at all, so I didn't know what it was like.

This past year I have dated several guys and every time it ended I thought to myself "oh no, I'm exactly like Ester Nilsson. I'm everything I hated". I thought she was a pathetic woman who took no responsibility for her own emotions and now I love her because she fucking tries calling him out on his bullshit. She rarely succeeds, but she tries.

And I still feel like it shouldn't be like this, but it absolutely is. All the guys I've dated has been exactly like this, but in their own stupid ways. They've all done some version of possessing you, then disappearing, then convincing themselves they never made any promises anyway. And it's all your fault.

Yeah, anyway I've completely changed my mind on this book. I'm sorry about that, past!Ell, but sometimes that's how it goes ( )

Yet another book that could've been solved by lesbianism.

Honestly I just don't get it!? It's meant to be ~*oh so relateable*~ and yes I kinda relate because wow was I like that when I was eighteen and in love but please for the love of all the gods tell me that this isn't still how love is when you're in your 30s!?!?!?!?! I know Sex and the City wants me to think so but that was the fucking 90s, we're over it by now aren't we? Ester is so fucking annoying and I just spent the entire novel wanting to fuckign SLAP her in the face and scream for her to get her shit together because what the fuck is her problem!? Yes he slept with you and he was a douche but you're the one who fell in love with him after talking once and dumped your boyfriend for him and all that shit? You can't hold him fucking responsible for fucking up your entire life even if he was an asshole because you did all that even before you knew him.

I don't want life to be like this. I refuse. I'm into girls and boys but if this how relatable straight romances are meant to be then I'm fucking out.

Die Geschichte von Widerrechtliche Inbesitznahme, des ersten ins Deutsche übersetzten Romans der schwedischen Autorin Lena Andersson, ist schnell erzählt: Die Schriftstellerin Ester liebt den bildenden Künstler Hugo, der ihre Liebe nicht erwidert, und es dauert rund ein Jahr, bis Ester von dieser vergeblichen Leidenschaft zu lassen vermag.
Was wie ein trauriges Liebesdrama oder ein mäßig interessanter Künstlerroman klingt, ist tatsächlich aber eine schwungvoll komponierte & glänzend geschriebene Meditation über Liebe & Begehren und die daran scheiternde Kommunikation zweier Menschen, die einander aus verschiedenen Gründen brauchen, aber nicht zueinander finden: amüsant, intelligent, dialektisch & mitreissend.

"From the day she found language and ideas and realized where her mission lay, she renounced expensive living, ate cheaply, was always careful about contraception, only traveled rationally, had never been in debt to the bank or to any private person, and did not get herself into situations that forced her away from what she wanted to spend her time doing: reading, thinking, writing, and debating."

Until, of course, now.

This short novel is about the woman described above, and how she abruptly falls in love. It is a literally excruciating look at self-deception. Ester's love is unrequited and undeserved. Over and over, we wince as we read some variation on: "She thought: I should walk away. But I don't want to. I want to stand here with him. It's the only place in the world I want to be." As Lionel Shriver says on a back-cover blurb: "Alas, most women have lived this story." ( )

Välskriven, kort bok om obesvarad kärlek. Hugo Rask beter sig som en gris, men Ester borde insett detta och slutat kontakta, honom så hade problemet varit löst. ( )

Kjærlighet og ærlighet : Selv det fornuftigste menneske kan rammes av forelskelsen, i Lena Anderssons forfriskende gjennombruddsroman.

omanen til Lena Andersson åpner med en grei definisjon: «Ester Nilsson het et menneske». Godt å vite, siden man et øyeblikk lurer på om man i stedet har å gjøre med en akademisk språkmaskin: «Med knusende presisjon fornemmet hun virkeligheten inne fra sin bevissthet og levde etter den ambisjon at verden var slik hun opplevde den.» Det er helt klart et tenkende menneske vi møter, men det er ikke nødvendigvis til hjelp i kjærligheten.
«Det å bli byttet ut er ubegripelig for tanken», skriver Andersson. Hun undersøker det å ikke forstå, eller nå frem til, den eneste man vil nå. Med sin klare beskrivelse av såret stolthet skiller Lena Anderssons bok seg fra hopen. Det er intensitet i «Rettsstridig forføyning». En roman med karakter.
