Description

The dreadful workplaces I have visited and the wonderful people I have met there form a poetic CV. An absurd and bittersweet journey through a professional life that begins with work placements and ends in a writing career. Criticism of the workplace runs like a thread through the pages, in close dialogue with aspects of Swedish literary history.

Henrik Johansson (b. 1973) has been called a renewer of Swedish working-class literature, and with this collection he reinvents himself in the transition from prose to dialogic poetry. Henrik Johansson is a writer and has previously authored, among others, *Of Flesh and Blood* (2013), *Raya* (2018) and *Letters from a Cell* (2019).
