  <about><![CDATA[Karin Boye was a Swedish poet and novelist.

She is perhaps most famous for her poems, of which the most well-known ought to be &lt;i&gt;&quot;Yes, of course it hurts&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (Swedish: &quot;Ja visst gör det ont&quot;) and &lt;i&gt;&quot;In motion&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (Swedish: &quot;I rörelse&quot;). She also wrote a few novels including &lt;i&gt;&quot;Kallocain&quot;&lt;/i&gt;. Inspired by the rise of National Socialism in Germany, it was a portrayal of a dystopian society in the vein of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Huxley's Brave New World (though written almost a decade before Nineteen Eighty-Four). In the novel, an idealistic scientist named Leo Kall invents Kallocain, a kind of truth serum.

Boye died in an apparent suicide when swallowing sleeping-pills after leaving home on April 23, 1941. ]]></about>    <gender>female</gender>  <hometown>Gothenburg</hometown>  <born_at>12/13/1901</born_at>  <died_at>04/24/1941</died_at>
