In the comic book 'The Reddest Rose Blooms,' Liv Strömkvist explores what happens to love in the era of late capitalism. Analyzing the romantic experiences of Leonardo DiCaprio and Søren Kierkegaard, the sociological texts of Eva Illouz, and the poetry of Hilda Doolittle, Strömkvist seeks answers to questions about why it is so difficult to fall in love, whether feelings can be controlled, why love hurts, and why it ends. 'The Reddest Rose Blooms' is a blend of theory, pop culture, and humor that has become the comic artist's signature.
