  Stig Dagerman

  Stig Dagerman was one of the most prominent Swedish authors during the 1940s. In the course of five years, 1945-49, he enjoyed phenomenal success with four novels, a collection of short stories, a book about postwar Germany, five plays, hundreds of poems and satirical verses, several essays of note and a large amount of journalism. Then, with apparent suddenness, he fell silent. In the fall of 1954, Sweden was stunned to learn that Stig Dagerman, the epitome of his generation of writers, had been found dead in his car: he had closed the doors of the garage and run the engine.
  
  Dagerman's works deal with universal problems of morality and conscience, of sexuality and social philosophy, of love, compassion and justice. He plunges into the painf

  Amanda Svensson nominerades till Augustpriset 2011 för Välkommen till den här världen: med motiveringen:
  ”En oliksidig triangel är inte perfekt, konstaterar författaren till den här romanen, om kärlek, vänskap och en ödesdiger svartsjuka. I 'Välkommen till den här världen:' svingar sig Amanda Svensson suveränt mellan olika språknivåer och skildrar färgsprakande, lekfullt och hektiskt tre unga människor på jakt efter mening i Köpenhamns elektrifierade natt. En nattklubbstragedi, en hela-havet-stormarlek på liv och död. Det är intensivt, det är innovativt och det är alldeles alldeles underbart.”
