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.

A pioneering work of dystopian fiction from one of Sweden's most
acclaimed writers Written midway between Brave New World and
Nineteen Eighty-Four, as the terrible events of the Second World
War were unfolding, Kallocain depicts a totalitarian 'World State'
which seeks to crush the individual entirely. In this desolate,
paranoid landscape of 'police eyes' and 'police ears', the obedient
citizen and middle-ranking scientist Leo Kall discovers a drug that
will force anyone who takes it to tell the truth. But can private
thought really be obliterated? Karin Boye's chilling novel of
creeping alienation shows the dangers of acquiescence and the power
of resistance, no matter how futile. Translated with an
introduction by David McDuff
