Adam Hochschild

Hochschild was born in New York City. As a college student, he spent a summer working on an anti-government newspaper in South Africa and subsequently worked briefly as a civil rights worker in Mississippi in 1964. Both were politically pivotal experiences about which he would later write in his book Finding the Trapdoor. He later was part of the movement against the Vietnam War, and, after several years as a daily newspaper reporter, worked as a writer and editor for the leftwing Ramparts magazine. In the mid-1970s, he was one of the co-founders of Mother Jones.

Camilla Läckberg

Before she became one of Sweden’s most popular crime writers, Camilla Läckberg (b. 1974) worked as a marketing director and product manager for several years.

Camilla’s books have gained even more popularity after being adapted into a TV-series, produced by SVT (Swedish Television).

Sophie Jomain

Sophie tient à peine sur ses pieds quand elle apprend qu’être bavard n’est pas le privilège des grands. Elle utilise les mots et récite des poésies toutes aussi insolites les unes que les autres, sans toujours en comprendre le sens, mais ça fait son petit effet. C’est sûrement à ce moment-là qu’elle est atteinte du virus de l’expression, d’abord au micro dans le brouhaha d’un piano-bar (le jazz, son premier grand coup de cœur), et longtemps après, avec quelques cinq cents pages d’un livre bien épais.

Plus tard, ses parents la promènent partout à un rythme effréné, si bien que, prise d’une crise de déplacement aiguë, elle se retrouve en Angleterre à l’âge de 18 ans, où sans se défendre plus que ça, elle se laisse séduire par l’Union Jack. Dep

Anne Cathrine Bomann

Dansk psykolog og forfatter, som foreløbig har udgivet to digtsamlinger som alt for ung, romanen Agathe fra 2017, en fagbog om skizofreni i 2018 og ungdomsromanen Hvad ingen ved i 2019.
Jeg skriver med andre ord vidt og bredt om det, der fascinerer mig - ofte med karakterer, der står ude i periferien af tilværelsen, læner sig lidt frem og prøver at finde ud af, om de skal træde ind eller ej.
For tiden arbejder jeg på min hidtil længste roman med afsæt i den nye sorgdiagnose, der er ved at blive implementeret her i Danmark.
