REVIEW
Döda poeter skriver inte kriminalromaner
Björn Larsson's satire on the Scandinavian crime fiction wave abounds with meta-fictional allusions.
REVIEW
Filologens dröm
Björn Larsson's short stories, set in the world of academia, are light-hearted, ironical Tales of the Joys of Discovery.
REVIEW

This second novel from Kristian Fredén has a literary irony, an understated humour and an extended chess motif providing both plot and metaphor which is inevitably reminiscent of Nabokov’s The Defence.
REVIEW

The American Girl takes an ambitious stylistic leap into a more fragmented narrative, a post-modern, kaleidoscopic vehicle conveying the chaotic, inexplicable and unintelligible world of children and adolescents from dysfunctional families.
