For the thirtieth time in the order, the price of August will be awarded. On Monday afternoon, the complete list was published.
What can you say if they were nominated this year?
– If you start in the fiction book of the year, it's quite surprising. A bit political, but a clear trend regarding the themes related to the sword, Sweden, migration and immigration. As in Aednan, Linnea Axelsson's autobiographical novel Kenneth Hermeles "A shtetl in Stockholm, and Sami Saids," Hanna Jedvik, literary critic of Culture magazine, continues:
Among the most surprising are the 81-year-old "social democratic" stories of Björn Runeborg, who are fantasies of various key figures in social-democratic history, for example, Kata Dahlström, Tage Erlander and Per Albin Hansson.Then we also have the first 54-year-old artist, Karin Smirnoff, who, in "I Down to Brother", wrote a very moving and strong story, born in the West, about a broken family history,
And what does it look like in this year's trade?
Kerstin Ekman, former Academy member and long-time fictional author this year, is nominated for this year's book for his "Garden of Gubbas", an essay on nature and its plants and animals living on an acre of land called Gubbas Garden. A kind of tribute to nature, says Hanna Jedvik.
– Then we can see that the bodybuilder Expressen Jens Liljestrand is nominated for his book The Man in the Forest – A biography of Vilhelm Moberg.
And this year's book for kids and teens?
– With regard to the yearbook for children and young people, Emma AdBåge was a first for her excellent picture book "Gropen" as well as for the former winner of the month of August, Jenny Jägerfeldt, who was nominated for her "Comedy Queen" – a novel for youth on the young man's life. when her mother killed her life, says Hanna Jedvik.
Is there a monster?
"We wish Sara Stridsberg not to be nominated for her novel Love Antarctica, released earlier this fall, a favorite among many others.
The writer who wins a statue of August will be ready on 27 November.
