Reviews

Even as a fictional character he would be fascinating. But he was real.

Saga has just started secondary school when she meets him: the man who is to become her obsession, ‘Stockholm’s most beautiful man’.

A great source of information and an articulate companion to crime fiction as a literary genre.

Thought-provoking non-fiction on how women are left out of the study of economics and human behaviour, and how this affects human understanding of the world economy.

This collection of essays contains something for almost everyone with an interest in the overall theme of making expertise matter without favouring technocratic governance.

Urban fantasy with a distinctly Nordic flavour.

Inspired by classic stories and computer adventure games.

Handberg's novel hauntingly describes that strange, becalmed yet activity-filled bubble we inhabit between the death and funeral of a parent.

The author’s personal and frankly partisan account of a period as a Member of Parliament.

Underfors is urban fantasy with a distinctly Nordic flavour.

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

The powerful mixture of fantasy and grim social realism works well in this haunting novel.

This book simply had to be reviewed here: not only is this what could quite fairly be described as the definitive book to date on Scandinavian crime fiction in the English language, but it is a work which strongly features the theme of translation itself.

A collection of Andersson’s reflections on his experiences while translating James Joyce.

The growth of filmic art is interestingly if at times slightly arbitrarily explored in this companion text to the exhibition of the same name at Bonniers Konsthall art gallery.

Reality is a manifold concept, but we take it for granted.

New poems, interlaced with older ones – old favourites.

The historical setting of the story is as important as the investigative aspect of it.
