After giving birth, Anna is utterly lost. She and her family move to the unfamiliar, snowy city of Stockholm. Anxiety threatens to completely engulf the new mother, who obsessively devours online news and compulsively buys clothes she can’t afford. To avoid sinking deeper into her depression, Anna forces herself to read and write. My Work is a novel about the unique and fundamental experience of giving birth, mixing different literary forms – fiction, essay, poetry, memoir, and letters – to explore the relationship between motherhood, work, individuality, and literature.

In the four stories that make up The Dolls, characters are plagued by unexplained illnesses and oblique, human-made disasters and environmental losses. A big sister descends into the family basement. Another sister refuses her younger brother. A third sister with memory loss is on the run, seeking shelter at Notpla. A fourth set of siblings travel to Hungary with their late mother in a coffin. They each have a different version of their mother's story. Drawing on the likes of August Strindberg, Franz Kafka, Andrej Kurkov, Knut Hamsun, T.S. Eliot, Bela Tarr, and Hieronymus Bosch, Scavenius's universe is chilling and excruciatingly seductive. In it, nothing can be said to be true anymore. After all, anything can be propaganda today.

An artist in her thirties weaves and unravels connections between the loom and the computer, DNA and technology, dreams and decisions Thread Ripper is a multi-strand novel about weaving, women, and programming. In Copenhagen, a tapestry-weaver embarks on her first big commission, a digitally woven tapestry. As she works, she draws illuminating connections between all the stuff that life is made from - DNA, plant tissue, algorithms, text and textile - and that which disrupts it - radiation, pests, entropy and doubt. In another strand, we follow Ada Lovelace, the 1830s mathematician and pioneer of computer programming. And Penelope, the faithful wife of Odysseus, who wove and unpicked a shroud to put off her 108 suitors. Contemplative yet clear-sighted, Amalie Smith's hybrid textile of a novel bares the aching but crucial interwovenness of art and life.

Recently unearthed from the ground, Marble leaves her new lover in Copenhagen and travels to Athens. The city is overflowing with colour, steam and fragrance, cats cry like babies at night, the economic crisis is raging. In this volatile landscape, Marble grasps the world by exploring its immediate surfaces. Capturing specks of colour on ancient sculptures in the Acropolis Museum with an infrared camera, she simultaneously traces the pioneering sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen, who spent several months in the same place 110 years earlier. Far away from her husband and children, Carl-Nielsen showed that Archaic sculptures were originally painted in bright colours - a feat which meant defying Victorian gender roles and jeopardising her marriage. Sensuous and electric, yet admirably forensic in its approach to mineral life, Marble is a galvanizing novel about the materials life is made of, about korai and sponge diving, about looking and looking again, written in a spare and pellucid style.

Reading Ravn’s book, you run through the whole gamut of human emotion, as though you too were a new mother: tears, laughter, anger, fear, pain, frustration. This is powerful writing that’s hard to put down.�—Politiken

My story 'Her Place Was With God', was written for you and for me. I wrote it for my kids, my grandkids, my mom, my dad's, my sisters and brothers and for all of my family and friends as a whole. I wrote it for you and your neighbor and for the family who had one of their loved ones come home from war and their heart is broke when they are so angry and torn up inside that slowly and loudly the abuse is everywhere. It's about you or someone you love or all of the others we don't know who are growing up in a world of drug use. It's a part of their everyday life and they know no different or for the young teenager alone and scared. He or she is offered to get high and a warm place to sleep and food to eat in exchange for the un-mentionable. It's for the family whose sole provider lost their job because of cut backs or gets hurt at work and is laid off. Money is hard and moods change, relationships grow weary and trust fades. Abuse, any and all types, physical, sexual, verbal, emotional and drug abuse can happen in these families and in anyone's home, in many different ways. When someone is abused it will always be a part of you, but with God it doesn't have to define who you are as a person or what you can accomplish in your life.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL - Personal und Organisation, Hochschule Fresenius; Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wenn Menschen zusammentreffen, fallen sie Urteile. Beurteilt wird immer - im Berufs- sowie auch im Privatleben. Dies geschieht auch ohne ein vorheriges Beurteilungstraining und ohne bewussten Entschluss. Menschen beurteilen oft schon in den ersten 30 Sekunden eines Treffens und bilden ihr erstes Urteil uber ihr Gegenuber. Dabei hilft dem Menschen ein schnelles Urteil sich in seiner Umgebung zu orientieren und zurechtzufinden. Wir sind dabei vielen Eindrucken ausgesetzt, begegnen jeden Tag zahlreichen Menschen - sozusagen gehort es zur psychologischen Grundausstattung, andere einzuschatzen, um eventuelle Gefahren fur sich selbst erkennen zu konnen. Diese Urteile haben weitreichende Konsequenzen. Erscheint uns jemand als gefahrlich, werden wir das Verhalten andern. Weckt dabei jemand unser Interesse, werden wir uns ihm zuwenden und uns langer mit ihm beschaftigen. Erscheint uns diese Person jedoch gleich unsympathisch, so wird es derjenige schwer haben, den schlechten ersten Eindruck wieder wett zu machen. In den meisten aller bundesdeutschen Unternehmen werden regelmassig Mitarbeiterbeurteilungen durchgefuhrt. Diese haben gerade fur die Betroffenen weitreichende Konsequenzen, entscheiden die Urteile doch uber Einstellungen, Gehalt, Forderung und weiteres Fortkommen
