Post-40 Bloomers: Isak Dinesen, Her Own Heroine

Interview, she was asked, “Do you then look on your own life as a ‘tale’?” “Yes, I suppose so,” she replied, “but in a sense only I can grasp. And, after all, the tale is not yet quite finished!” It could hardly have been easy toward the end, or even particularly enjoyable. But for someone who nurtured an unmistakable ideal of high drama from childhood, and a writer’s sense of life as a narrative arc, how else could she have lived?

Karen Christentze Dinesen, nicknamed Tanne, was born on Denmarkâs coast just north of Copenhagen, in 1885. A stormy and creative child, Tanne balked at her motherâs moral restraint. Her father, on the other hand, was her idol, swashbuckling and at ease in the world. They took daily walks together and he told her tales of his time hunting and trapping in America, his cabin in Wisconsin, his kinship with the local Chippewas. These attentions confirmed what she had always believed â that she was special, destined for greatness. When he committed suicide she was left, at age ten, to make sense of her story alone â and she would keep doing so for the rest of her life.
