There are several descriptions in Katherine Diez's new book that her ex-husband, TV chef and manuscript writer Adam Price, cannot recognize.

Price makes it clear, after Diez today released the book 'I on My Own' (), which among other things deals with the shitstorm she faced when it came to light that she in several cases had plagiarized text passages from other writers in her work as a literary critic at Berlingske ().

The book also covers more details about the relationship with Adam Price.

Among other reasons, Price criticizes the publisher behind the book, People's, for not showing him the content of the book sufficiently before its publication.

He tells P1's Culture that he received a "principal submission" 12 days before the book's release.

- The submission was overseen by Helveg, and we were not allowed to take the pages with us after reading, according to Adam Price in his response to Kulturen.

He has previously both on his Instagram profile and in a written response to DR expressed that he does not recognize himself in several of the book's passages.

- Much of what is described is unfamiliar to me, and I have not given consent for her to continue with her subjective descriptions or interpretations of our intimate life together.

Price further writes that he has not yet decided whether "the offense will have legal consequences."

Supervised by an attorney

The TV chef also describes how he was allowed to read extracts of the book, which he is part of, at People's Press on September 26, while being supervised by Diez's attorney Heidi Helveg.

- The reading took place under Helveg's supervision, and we were not allowed to take the pages with us after reading, according to Adam Price in his response to Kulturen.

He has previously both on his Instagram profile and in a written response to DR expressed that he does not recognize himself in several of the book's passages.

- Much of what is described is unfamiliar to me, and I have not given consent for her to continue with her subjective descriptions or interpretations of our intimate life together.

Price further writes that he has not yet decided whether "the offense will have legal consequences."

Since the scandal hit Diez about eight months ago, there has been silence from her side other than a single post on social media. Several media have described the shitstorm, but there has been no comment from the 35-year-old critic.

Until today, where she not only releases her new book but also appears as a guest on DR's news podcast Genstart ().

In the podcast, she talks about the time after the shitstorm and the break-up with the man she thought she would be with for the rest of her life.

But the dream man leaves her, and a hard and isolated time follows. She becomes afraid of other people and spends the time writing the book that was released today, she tells.

With time, the fear subsides, and she becomes again comfortable going out in Copenhagen.

- For the first time in a long time, I don't hide myself under my basket. I look up and sing along to my favorite song that plays in my ears, begins the book.
