Marina Allemano

Marina Allemano was born and raised in Copenhagen, Denmark, and after a couple of years of hippie-style travelling in Europe, she decided to move to Canada where she has lived, studied and worked ever since. Literary studies became her passion, and she was fortunate to teach comparative literature and Scandinavian studies at the University of Alberta for several decades. Three monographs on Danish women writers were published in Denmark, and her translations of Danish fiction came out in the UK and Canada. Presently she is writing her memoirs from where “The Quiet Boy” has been excerpted.
