Svea´s son
Original title: Sveas son
Author: Lena Andersson
Original publisher: Polaris 2018
Genre: Fiction
Svea’s Son is a generational novel by the award-winning author Lena Andersson. It is a razor-sharp comedic rendering of the progress and ruin of the industrial welfare state. A much-anticipated novel by one of our time’s most perceptive chroniclers of society.
Lena Andersson was effusively praised for her books about the lovesick Ester Nilsson. In Svea’s Son, she delivers a funny, wise, and moving family chronicle about the social transformations that unite and divide us from one another, and about finding the courage to be true to oneself.
