Author and psychologist Glenn Bech talks about how hard it can be to let love in when you grew up with unreliable role models and learned that showing weakness meant being humiliated. The conversation draws on his latest novel, Jeg er ikke færdig med dig (2025), which follows Lasse as he tries to reconcile a turbulent childhood with a modern relationship.
Bech also looks at the cost of social mobility: what is lost when someone leaves their family behind to get ahead, and how far one partner can fall before the other must stop holding the door open. Themes include toxic masculinity, class divides, sexuality and inferiority, which run through his debut Farskibet and the manifesto Jeg anerkender ikke længere jeres autoritet.
