O článku:
This article examines the depiction of two different professions in the Swedish novel Vård, skola och omsorg (Healthcare, schools, and social services, 2021) by Linn Spross. The narrator-protagonist quits her job as postdoctoral researcher at a prestigious university and begins working as a home care aide. The novel’ s chapters alternate between these two work environments, implicitly inviting the reader to compare and contrast them. The article analyzes the novel in relation to the genres of campus fiction and quit lit, showing how conventions from both contribute to the novel’s critique of academic working conditions.
