Anne cathrine bomann

Anne Cathrine Bomann (b. 1983) lives in Copenhagen, dividing her time between writing and working as a psychologist. She also played table tennis for Denmark and won the national championship twelve times.

Existential themes such as loneliness, anxiety, love, and identity run throughout her work. She writes about the longing for meaning and belonging, about difficult relationships between people, and often about those who stand on the periphery looking in.

She published her first poetry collection at the age of fifteen and has since written young adult fiction, non-fiction, and literary novels. Her debut, Agathe (2017), became an international word-of-mouth success, sold to 28 languages, and received the Italian literary prize Scrivere per Amore in 2019. It was followed by Blue Notes (2022), optioned for film adaptation in Canada, and The Aquarium (2024), a novel about a young woman’s love for an octopus.

Bomann's forthcoming Open Sentence (Lindhardt & Ringhof, March 2026) is a tender and piercing novel about the fractured bond between an adult daughter and her disappearing mother, the fragile nature of memory, and how love is not always enough.
