Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
In Every Moment We Are Still Alive
Tom Malmquist · 2018
82/100
👍 Worth It
Malmquist's debut is a singular piece of grief writing — the stream-of-consciousness style isn't a stylistic choice so much as a structural argument that grief itself is non-linear and disorienting. Multiple Swedish literary awards and strong international critical reception confirm this isn't just emotionally intense but artistically accomplished. Go in knowing it will be hard; come out knowing you read something real.
