  • More about The Singularity


The Singularity is a study of grief, migration, and motherhood from one of Sweden's most exciting new writers, weaving between two narratives and written in looping prose rich with meaning.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 194 pages
Publication date: 17 January 2024
Publisher: Fitzcarraldo Editions


Amidst the bustling streets of an unnamed coastal city, a mother relentlessly searches for her missing child, uttering their name with desperation as she treads along the familiar cliffside road where her daughter once toiled. Her tireless quest continues, fueled by an overwhelming sense of hopelessness and the weight of grief that consumes her. In a tragic turn of events, exhausted by her relentless search and overcome by despair, she plunges into the sea, leaving her other children behind. Witnessing this heartbreaking act is another woman, on a business trip from a distant land, carrying within her a swollen belly that would soon give birth to a stillborn baby. In the wake of her profound pain, the second woman's memories flood back, reminding her of her own journey of loss. She recalls the erasure of her language, the displacement of her country, and the fragmentation of her identity when her family had fled a distant war.

Through a seamless interweaving of narratives and written in a captivating looping prose that brims with profound meaning, "The Singularity" emerges as an extraordinary exploration of grief, migration, and motherhood from the talented pen of one of Sweden's most exciting emerging writers.
