Writing Class

Idag publicerades min nya bok: Writing Class: Precarious Labour in Contemporary Swedish Literature

Baksidestexten lyder som följer: 

Writing Class offers a compelling analysis of how contemporary Swedish literature represents precarious labour. Drawing on a wide range of literary forms—from novels and poetry to graphic narratives—it explores how authors respond to the rise of non-standard employment and its social consequences. Engaging with key debates in literary and cultural theory, the book situates these texts within broader historical, political, and aesthetic frameworks. Special attention is given to how contemporary literature both engages with and reconfigures the tradition of Swedish working-class writing. A vital contribution to studies of class, labour, and literature, Writing Class rethinks the relationship between literature and social change, in a contemporary Swedish context, revealing literature's potential not only to deepen our understanding of labour-market precarity but also to challenge it.
