Krane's Cafe : An Interior with Figures
Cora Sandel
1985
There could hardly be a more accomplished or absolute exposure of the lovelessness and meaness of the bourgeois spirit than Krane's Cafe.

Sara Cecilia Görvell Fabricius (20 December 1880 – 3 April 1974), better known by her pen name Cora Sandel, was a Norwegian writer and painter who lived most of her adult life abroad. Her best-known works are the novels now known as the Alberta Trilogy. In 1961, she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature by the Norwegian philosopher Harald Ofstad.
...
During her years in Paris, Sandel helped support the family with short stories and sketches published in Norway. However, her first novel and first tome in the trilogy, Alberte and Jakob, was not published until 1926, when Sandel was 46 years of age. This began the semi-autobiographical Alberta trilogy. Sandel used many elements from her own life and experiences in her stories, which often centre on the spiritual and societal struggles of women marginalized by the strict confines of 19th century society.
...
These novels earned her an immediate place in the Scandinavian canon, but it was not until the 1960s that Sandel, then living quietly in Sweden, was discovered by the English-speaking world.

Despite her great literary success, she remained hidden behind her pseudonym and lived a rather secluded life.
