Malin Forst is a precocious, devout twenty-year-old woman attending
a Stockholm teachers' college in the 1930s. Confounded by a sudden
crisis of faith, Malin plunges into a depression and a paralysis of
will. Oscillating between poetic prose, social realism, fragments
of correspondence, and imagined dialogues between the forces of
nature, Crisis telescopes Malin's distress out into metaphysical
planes and back, as her mind stages struggles between black and
white, Dionysian and Apollonian, and with an everyday existence
that has become unbearably arduous. And then an intense infatuation
with a classmate reorients everything.
