Book cover of Johanna Hedman

LATEST REVIEW

Mecenaterna

Johanna Hedman’s sharply written The Benefactors takes a harsh look at a cynical art industry that devours young artists alive, spitting out their bones and clothes. It brings into focus those who normally remain in the shadows: those who buy and collect art. 

Book cover of Liken vi begravde by Lina Wolff

LATEST REVIEW

Liken vi begravde

The Corpses We Planted brilliantly combines all the exciting components of Lina Wolff’s writing, from eccentric humour to a knack for probing the darkest parts of humanity. Winning the 2025 August Prize is just the cherry on top.

Book cover of Bea Uusma

LATEST REVIEW

Vitön

An atmospheric novella set in Stockholm, Therese Bohman’s My Street is a coming-of-age story and depiction of student life.
