Quotes by Karin Tidbeck

Karin Tidbeck

All my stories and worlds spring from the basic principle of being a slave to the premise, to follow the consequences wherever they may lead without taking any easy or comfortable ways out.

Happily, fantastic fiction is slowly gaining in status.

Writing

I come from a nation where fantastic fiction has a very low status, unless it fits into some very specific categories or is written by already established authors. I don’t by any means try to hide what I write, but the way people think in categories here is pretty extreme: it blots out discussing the actual work on its own terms. That’s made me loath to talk about my own work in terms of genre, because once you get a label, it sticks and poof go a slew of potential readers and reviewers because eww, fantasy cooties.
