Ariel Levy is a successful journalist in The New Yorker, where she often writes about women who break with the traditional expectations in how you express and live gender and sexuality. She has a nice little house and is married to the woman in her life. When she, at 37, also becomes pregnant, her life is perfect. Or not.

The Rules Do Not Apply (translated into Norwegian by Rune R. Moen) is Levy\\u2019s memoir, in which the pivot point is those few weeks when the foundation of her life crumbles and she is brought down by the very biological rules she thought herself above. At the house of Literature she met Morgenbladet\\u2019s Bernhard Ellefsen for a conversation about biology and lived life. The event took place April 11, 2018.
