Ragnar Strömberg, Klara Zimmergren, Theodor Kallifatides, Liv Stromquist and Björn Ranelid were among the partial walls.

Göteborgs-Posten Cultural Affairs Gabriel Bystrom struck a blow for free speech along with Ragnar Strömberg, Klara Zimmergren, Theodor Kallifatides, Liv Stromquist and Bjorn Ranelid.Inför a virtually packed artist strode Gabriel Bystrom traditionally to speak lectern and announced it 77th edition of the book day. Bystrom, who earlier this fall gave out the Silence triumph for the fledgling right-wing extremism in Hungary, warned that the development where thousands of journalists sacked and opposition silenced can be done quickly if the parliamentary situation permits.

– It is alarming and we all have a responsibility to challenge the development, he said and read aloud from a recent Hungarian chronicle that compares the Roma with animals that have become extinct.

– We need to preserve free speech and it feels great to stand here and make room for these great writers, Gabriel said Bystrom.

We then got your reading and conversation with sequentially Ragnar Strömberg, Klara Zimmergren, Theodor Kallifatides, Liv Stromquist and Björn Ranelid.

Ragnar Strömberg, the great poet who this year made a comeback after 14 years in the writing come with your heart’s final blow, presented his first poem Antikrundan with where warranted … and looked out over the aging, laughing crowds throng. A crowd who then sat devout and listened to Ragnar’s poems about death, both his older brother and all of fallen friends.

Klara Zimmergren took over and talked instead about life, or about the hope of new life, of a child who did not want to come but in the end actually was there. The air is living in my footsteps, her popular novel, began as a sommarprat in P1 and ended up as a bestseller as healthy changed hands during the break where all authors signed their works in the foyer. There was also Björn Ranelid, this giant that precisely meet their reading audience.

– I have done 3500 author readings, only this week I make four, said Ranelid who claim that the symbiosis between him and his reader gives him pleasure to continue writing.
