The Aniara prize to Hans Gunnarsson

This year, the Aniara prize goes to Hans Gunnarsson for the short story collection “Bormann i Bromma”, where, according to the jury, he continues to explore the dark side of the middle class. The justification emphasizes that “behind the villa knot, the banal evil stands on firm feet when the individual’s responsibility is dissolved in the power of the collective. In lustfully driven prose, Hans Gunnarsson tells about what can take place in the gaps that arise between people’s will and ability, between life’s everydayness and mystery .”
