Fool, Free
Fool, Free | Beate Grimsrud
2 posts | 2 read | 17 to read
Eli Larsen is a talented author and filmmaker. She writes books. She directs films. She wins awards. She is a success. But Eli has a secret. Since she was a child she has shared her life with Espen, Erik, Prince Eugen and Emilor, rather, with their voices. Sometimes they're friendly, sometimes comforting, but sometimes they want to hurt Eli and the people she loves most. Tracing her illness from childhood, Eli shows us what it is to be creative, charming, talented and deeply disturbed. In this candid and beautiful novel Beate Grimsrud offers an unflinching insight into the secret world of the mind.

Can someone explain what Vanillapen is? I see all these nice quotes up on @Litsy and I'm confused by it?

BookishFeminist It's an app! Free to use. Just search "Vanillapen" in the App Store. It's pretty easy to use. :) 8y
Megabooks It's a free app that you can use to make "posters" that you can save to your camera roll or share on social media. 8y

Eli is an successful author who struggles with her mental health. She hears voices. I don't think I have ever been as emotionally invested in a book as I was with this one. It has won several prizes in Sweden and in Norway, and it deserves every one. It also deserves a lot of readers! A favorite ❤️
