<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edith Hammar: Homo Line (F\u00f6rlaget)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This autobiographical book about cultural identities, sex, and sexuality challenges both concervative attitudes and the conventions of comic expression. The main character searches her place alternately from Helsinki and from Stockholm. In the end, it becomes evident that no nation, no city, nor a nationality make a home. It is more important to be yourself freely and actualize your identity as you desire. Despite a melancholic overtone of the story, it doesn\u2019t feel inconsolable, but reminds the reader of the radical power of dreaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
