K is one of Sweden’s most noted poets, with a given seat in The Swedish Academy. One of Sweden’s greatest lyricists, celebrated and elevated. Then comes the explosion. Her husband is accused of serious crimes, and the media frenzy rages. They fall together. She falls. Hard. K flees the land of S and its bloodthirsty people. What happens to a person falling free? Can she ever land? She writes to survive, she writes because it will be her salvation in the fall. She writes because it is the only thing she can do. In literature there is a respite. She writes despite the fact that everyone around her demands answers and standpoints. She writes from love. She writes to understand the plot of her own life.
