New Swedish Books 16 Critic’s choice My name is H
anna Jedvik and I’m an arts journalist, writer and critic who divides my time between a flat in Gothenburg and a small cottage in the countryside of Bohuslän. Besides reading and writing I love swimming in the sea and running in the woods. When I’m not near the sea I feel anxious, but petting a dog makes me calm, warm inside and happy. Sometimes I travel to Berlin to write, but I always come back before my yearning for Bohuslän gets too strong. When I was young I wanted to be as free as Ronja the Robber’s daughter, and one of my favourite books was Ulf Stark’s Nutcakes and Norms. Children’s and young adult fiction Photo: Ulrika Campbell
