We are proud to see Therese Bohman and Steve Sem-Sandberg included in Svenska Dagbladet’s new list of Sweden’s 20 Best Living Authors.
The list is based on a survey of 101 Swedish writers, literary scholars and critics, who were asked which living Swedish authors they consider the most significant and influential in shaping Swedish literature today.
Therese Bohman takes the No. 19 spot, highlighting Bohman’s distinctive exploration of love, envy, ambition and class, as well as the recurring belief in culture and education that runs through her work.
Steve Sem-Sandberg is ranked No. 9, highlighting his sustained engagement with Europe’s recent and often dark history. His acclaimed novel The Emperor of Lies is singled out for its portrayal of life in the Łódź Ghetto and its exploration of human motivations and the experiences of the vulnerable.
