Flugan

audioboek en e-book


Katherine Mansfield föddes på Nya Zeeland, men gick i skola i England. 1908 flyttade hon till Europa för gott. Hon var nära vän till författare som Virginia Wolf och H D Lawrence.

Katherine hade flera lesbiska förhållanden, bland annat med Maata Mahupuku, en ung maorikvinna hon mötte redan som tonåring. Hon var också gift två gånger, men det första äktenskapet varade bara i ett enda dygn.

1917 insjuknade hon i tuberkulos och hon dog 1923, endast 34 år gammal. Trots det räknas hon till en av sin tids stora författare. Hennes skarpögda noveller känns fortfarande aktuella. Flugan (som utkom 1922) är en av de mest välkända. Här får du chans att läsa den.
