Stockholm 1973 tells us about the birth of a syndrome through its two protagonists. It was in 1973 in Stockholm during the Kreditbanken hold-up and hostage taking that Kristin Ehnmark fell in love with her kidnapper Clark Olofsson. This book contains their respective interviews following this unexplained love, from which the famous Stockholm syndrome was born. Editorially the book is built around the duality of the good and the bad, the black and the white, which meet at its centre, as grey. With a hard cover and contents made of loose leaves, this double-entry edition emphasizes the paradoxical character, without apparent coherence, of this unconditional love. After all it is indeed love that is at stake, black in white and vice versa, complementing each other until they merge into each other.
