Raises issues of “Swedishness”. But, also a brilliant stylist. Reviews have called her style usage average. I’d like to call it shining and excellent. Piercing.

Kan du säga shibbolet is the title of her latest novel, which I’m currently enjoying.

She’s like the anti-Pär Thörn.

My colleague walked in here, to my screen, and handed me a big brown envelope.

Padded.

Full of… three thin books, all by literary genius Pär Thörn. One our great humorists. He is funny, for real.

You might not find anything about Pär Thörn in English. He recently made an audiobook of an out-of-print earlier book. This move is good, since his readings are quite unique and well-phrased.

Literature entered my life again, who knew?
