Agneta Klingspor was born in 1946 in Lysekil and grew up in Uddevalla. Her debut took place in 1977 with the diary novel “Inte skära bara rispa” which had a sequel in Nyckelroman: 1977–1992 (1994).
The novel “Development” (1999) also has an autobiographical character and is about the relationship with the father.
Her last book was the novel “If it goes to hell, I will die anyway” from 2016.
The books are basically always based on her own life.
– I have a very unromantic view of myself. I look at myself briefly as a material and that is the material I work with, she said in an interview with TT about the novel “Closed due to health” (2010)
The book depicts a woman’s increasingly stripped-down existence after a message of illness and the text was created because what was in the genre was so “traditionally written”, the author said.
In her book, Agneta Klingspor portrays the anxiety as well as the anger, fear of death and that inexplicable tenderness she rarely feels for the cancer that has settled in her breasts.
Klingspor has published both poetry and prose. Her writing has a feminist tendency, is characterized by an unusual erotic openness and is said to have a special eye for the tragicomic. She has mainly won appreciation for her adventurously spontaneous improvisations.
Agneta Klingspor turned 76 years old.
