A.
Thank you for writing to us. Readers enjoy original commentaries
about Karen Blixen / Isak
Dinesen, especially if they stimulate new ideas about her.
Sometimes we don't run across the commentaries online and we're glad to
receive
word about them. If you don't find a link
to a certain article about her on our website, please don't hesitate to
send us a link to
it.
If we decide not to list it, we'll let you know the reason.
Generally, a link is not mentioned for one of a few reasons:
a. The
supporting details about Karen Blixen are not well
researched. Often this means that the information is based on
inaccurate
sources.
b. The
article is derived from ideas and wording of other writings about Karen
Blixen.
c. The
commentary is written in a style that doesn't appeal to a general
audience. (The essay may be written in academic language, or may be
otherwise designed for a specialized group of readers. )
d. If
the author insists on old myths about Karen Blixen, such as the false
claim
that she died of syphilis, the commentary must be considered
propaganda, since correct information is
widely available.
Beginning with Karen Blixen herself, attempts have been made to
hide, obscure, manipulate, exaggerate or distort information about her.
We welcome and encourage objective commentary on her life and writings.
