About the author
Unni Drougge
25 books12 followersENG: Unni Drougge is a Swedish writer and journalist, currently living in Stockholm. She grew up in a family of medical doctors, and has since worked in kibbutz, studied psychology and lived in an alternative community. She used to be married to chief editor Mats Drougge, and they have five children. She is divorced.
According to Drougge you have to shock and to write provocatively to get attention in the social media; She's said that she needed a job and wanted to gain power that couldn't be taken away from her. She knew the mechanics of the media and its' interests in provocation - so she decided to dress up and speak up like a bitch.
FI: Unni Drougge (s. 1. huhtikuuta 1956 Lund) on ruotsalainen kirjailija ja toimittaja, joka asuu nykyisin Tukholmassa. Hän varttui lääkäriperheessä ja on työskennellyt kibbutzissa, opiskellut psykologiaa ja elänyt vaihtoehtoyhteisössä. Hän on ollut naimisissa päätoimittaja Mats Drouggen kanssa ja heillä on viisi lasta. Drougge otti eron miehensä väkivaltaisuuden takia.
Drouggen mukaan mediayhteiskunnassa on huomion saadakseen shokeerattava ja kirjoitettava raflaavasti: "Tarvitsin töitä ja halusin sellaista valtaa, jota ei pystytä ottamaan minulta pois. Tiesin median mekaniikan ja sen kiinnostuksen raflaaviin asioihin. Niinpä päätin pukeutua ja puhua kuin bitch."

Heroine might not be the best book Unni Drougge has written but that doesn't equal a bad book, quite the contrary actually. The personas are rich, multi layered and really interesting, as are the settings.
The book consists of five (?) different parts, each divided into three, four or maybe five chapters and every second chapter is written from either of the main characters' view. Everything is perfectly disposed and you get the feeling that Drougge really plan her writing and know what to write, which is a good treat when you're a writer.
Somewhere you get the feeling that she really know about drugs, NA and this whole world and you start wondering on what side she's been; the addict or the co-addict?
