In the comic "The Redest Rose Blooms," Liv Strömquist explores what happens to love in the era of late capitalism. By analyzing the romantic experiences of Leonardo DiCaprio and Søren Kierkegaard, the sociological texts of Eva Illouz, and the poetry of Hilda Doolittle, Strömquist seeks answers to questions about why it is so difficult for us to fall in love, whether we can control our feelings, why love brings pain, and why it ends.

"The Redest Rose Blooms" is a blend of theory, pop culture, and humor, which has become the hallmark of the comic artist.
