ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Stig Dagerman

A visceral restlessness haunted the life of Stig Dagerman (1923-1954), hailed early on as a "Northern Rimbaud," a "Swedish Camus," and a young prodigy of Nordic literature. This insidious anguish plagued him from his birthplace, Älvkarleby, where his mother abandoned him at a young age; it accompanied him in Stockholm's anarchist circles, in his intense journalistic activity, and culminated in his suicide at the age of 31. A cult author, considered a symbol of a disillusioned postwar generation, he wrote his entire work in four years, punctuated by the despair of Franz Kafka and influenced by William Faulkner, among which stand out... The Serpent (1945), The Island of the Condemned (1946), German Autumn (1947) and Night Games (1948). He left us an example of lucidity and resistance to falsehood, as the foundation and mainstay of human action, and some of the most beautiful pages on the falsity of human relationships and the anguish and anger that drive them.
