New Swedish Books 32 Critic’s choice Emi-Simone Z
awall is a literary critic, translator and strong proponent of the non-fiction genre. In her eyes, what sets good non-fiction apart is that it manages to unite truth and style, objectivity and personality. It is about more than just being right – it is also about saying things in the right way and being particular about the linguistic presentation. For the last couple of years, she has also been the publisher of the journal ESSÄ, which aims to publish new Swedish essay writing. NONFICTION Photo: Karl Gabor
