The anthropology student August Lauritzen is living a neat, orderly life with his partner Else. But what is life really like for an anthropology student who doesn’t travel to visit the cultures he is interested in? And what about his wife, the student of mathematics and literature, who spends all her free time doing research on misunderstood women in the history of art? In The Pornographer of the Amazon, Tove Nilsen takes us on a trip through our daily longings and dreams, and through amazing women’s lives and diverse cultures.
