Right, swedish people help me!
There is apparently a really good book written by a swedish author. In english the name is ’the evil’, roughly.
Any info on this would be appreciated!
I think the book I am looking for is ’Ondskan’ by Jan Guillou. Does this ring any bells?
Tack, oam.

Ondskan might be it.. at least it is about the evil side of people.. bullying at a school, guy hit by his dad
Book is a bit weird, bit (very?) hard sometimes, but good.
Sweden does have really good authors :D

It was a long time since anyone replied on this topic. Hopefully someone will see my entry :|
I am DESPERATELY trying to find the Guillou book ’Ondskan’ but in English. When the movie ’The Evil’ was nominated to the Oscars I wrote to his Swedish publisher and asked if they knew anything about it being published in English... the answer was no.
So far no searches on Google, Amazon.com/uk/ has led me to belive that there actually IS an English version.
Anyone who has this book or knows where/how to get the English version please reply.
Sincerely,
K

I can recommend Liza Marklund. I’ve read all her books (in Swedish) and they are really good!
