Publisher's Summary
Esther Nilson is an intellectual woman who values debate and political discourse almost as much as she values life itself. Until she is asked to give a lecture on famed artist Hugo Rask, and falls hopelessly in love with him. She abandons her relationships, her home, her friends and her self esteem, as her world begins to revolve around the existence of Hugo Rask. They strike up a casual relationship, but she sees it as much more. This story is an account of the lengths Esther goes to in order to merely be in Hugo’s presence, and the way he views their relationship, and the polarization of emotions engendered along the way.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic Reviews
"Willful Disregard is lacerating in its intelligence and honesty; it makes you waver between loathing and compassion for basically all humans." —New Yorker, Page-Turner
“It’s observational precision that makes [Andersson’s] writing so startling . . . It’s almost scary how relatable her books is . . . It’s the kind of novel that forces you to remember every stupid thing you’ve done in the name of love.” —Vice
"Lean and compulsively readable...Andersson's sketching of the lovesick Ester and the preoccupied Hugo is so well done that every incensed text she sends him is another little piece of our collective heart as we follow a struggle that has existed for as long as human life: the lover and the loved." —Kirkus Reviews
