A masterly portrayal of small, frightened teenage souls trapped in growing, awkward, sweaty bodies.

Pojkarna
This is a novel about gender. It is about coming to terms with the fact that in our society you are sorted into the ‘not powerful’ category of people if you happen to have a female body.
REVIEW
Konstiga djur
This is a nicely illustrated book with funny, colloquial prose, mostly in the form of dialogue. In a charming way it demonstrates that we are all more or less strange.
