Average Neuroses

Recently published in ten literary journals and recipient of a Pushcart nomination, Marianne
Koluda Hansen writes with a voice that is direct, relevant and deep. Her conversational tone,
tinged with dark humor and poignancy, brings to the surface the emotional underpinnings of
everyday life that people try to suppress. Her subject matter includes manipulative behavior,
childrearing, relative truth, the need to belong, approaching happiness, and the psychic pressures
of modern life and the persistent past. Available in English for the first time, these entertaining
narratives challenge the self-consciousness that lies beneath our conditioned personas. Danish/English dual language edition. Translated by Michael Goldman.
