Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson was an influential American author. A popular writer in her time, her work has received increasing attention from literary critics in recent years. She has influenced such writers as Stephen King, Nigel Kneale, and Richard Matheson.

She is best known for her dystopian short story, "The Lottery" (1948), which suggests there is a deeply unsettling underside to bucolic, smalltown America. In her critical biography of Shirley Jackson, Lenemaja Friedman notes that when Shirley Jackson's story "The Lottery" was published in the June 28, 1948, issue of The New Yorker, it received a response that "no New Yorker story had ever received." Hundreds of letters poured in that were characterized by, as Jackson put it, "bewilderment, specul

Caspar Eric

Caspar Eric er født i 1987 og har læst Litteraturvidenskab på Københavns Universitet.

I 2014 debuterede Caspar Eric som forfatter med poesi-udgivelsen ”7/11”. Det var med Caspar Erics egne ord en bog om at være ung i 2014, om popsamfundet og angsten for at blive outdated. Men det var også en bog om København, om kærlighed, om det, der er og sker lige nu. Og jeget i bogen ligner i udpræget grad Caspar Eric selv. Caspar Eric modtog desuden debutantprisen Munch Kristensens Kulturlegat 2015 på 50.000 kr. for ”7/11”.

”7/11” er Caspar Erics forfatterdebut i Danmark, men han har tidligere udgivet en mindre dobbeltdigtsamling på det norske forlag AFV Press. På samme forlag er udkommet yderligere to digtsamlinger af Caspar Eric i august 2014.

Torborg Nedreaas

Torborg Nedreaas (1906-1987) er en av 1900-tallets fremste norske forfattere, kjent for sitt samfunnsengasjement og sin sikre stil. Hun debuterte med novellesamlingen Bak skapet står øksen i 1945. To år etter kom den første romanen, Av måneskinn gror det ingenting, som også ble hennes gjennombrudd.

Siden fulgte blant annet den prisbelønte Herdis-trilogien: Trylleglasset (1950), Musikk fra en blå brønn (1960) og Ved neste nymåne (1971). Nedreaas var viljesterk og uredd hele sitt liv. Trass i at hun aldri ga opp sine kontroversielle meninger og sin kommunisme – så seint som i 1975 ble et radiokåseri om NATO stanset av NRK – holdt hun på en livsstil der siameserkatter, sjampanje og østers var selvsagte ingredienser.
