Stine Pilgaard is a Danish author renowned for her exploration of human relationships and interactions. Among her most notable works are "Min mor siger" (My Mother Says), "Lejlighedssange" (Songs for Special Occasions), and "Meter i sekundet" (Metres per Second), the latter winning the prestigious Golden Laurels in 2020.
Stine Pilgaard was born in Aarhus, Denmark. She grew up in Vejlby-Risskov. Pilgaard graduated from the Danish Writers' Academy in 2010. She holds degrees in Danish and Media Studies from Aarhus and Copenhagen Universities.
Her literary debut, "Min mor siger" (My Mother Says), came in 2012. This debut novel received critical acclaim and was awarded by the Danish Arts Foundation the same year. It was nominated for the Danish Broadcasting Corporation Literature Prize and won the Bodil and Jørgen Munch-Christensen Debutant Award. It was sold for publication in Norway and Iceland.
In 2015, Pilgaard followed up with "Lejlighedssange" (Songs for Special Occasions). This novel received the Danish Libraries' Writers Award and was nominated for the Danish Readers' Book Award. Both books were translated into Norwegian by Erlend Loe, with "Min mor siger" also translated into Icelandic.
Pilgaard's writing often explores human interactions and miscommunications. Her characters and settings are drawn from everyday life, focusing on love and relationships. She delves into moments where people are unguarded and authentic.
Her 2015 novel, "Lejlighedssange," includes a telling quote: "I walk through the world with popcorn and cola; the public space is my cinema." This sentiment reflects Pilgaard's observational style.
Her latest work, "Meter i sekundet" (Metres per Second, 2020), has been a success in Denmark, selling over 100,000 copies. It won several awards, including the prestigious Golden Laurels for the best novel of 2020.
