Per Anders Fogelström was among the leading figures in modern Swedish literature. He spent his whole life in Stockholm, and the most famous of his many works is a series of novels set in the city he dearly loved.

Ingmar Bergman's taboo-breaking 1953 film Summer with Monika is based on Fogelström's novel of the same name, published in 1951.

The author of more than 40 books in total, Fogelström also served as director of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society from 1963 to 1977. He received an honorary doctorate from Stockholm University in 1976. On the day he died, June 23, 1998, a bust of Fogelström was unveiled in Stockholm City Hall.

Quotes by Per Anders Fogelström (?)

“...en av de mänskliga rättigheterna måste vara den att för en tid få
dra sig undan allt som händer och sitta så här vid sidan av skeendet,
få vända världen ryggen ett ögonblick medan solen lyser och hjärtat fortsätter att dunka.”
― Per Anders Fogelström, Stad i världen

“Men en dag, en fruktansvärd och lycklig dag, skulle hon inte behöva orka mer, då skulle Olof också kunna klara sig. Då skulle hon ha rätt att vara trött, ha rätt att dö. Den dagen. Måtte den komma snart, måtte den aldrig komma.”
― Per Anders Fogelström, Barn av sin stad

“Det var som om han levde i två länder som båda krävde hans lojalitet. Familjen, det privata - och gruppen, klassen. Både familjen och klassen krävde sin tribut, ingendera fick svikas. ... Några måste gå i bräschen för att få till stånd en ändring. Men de som offrade sig skulle också offra sina familjer. Och Henning kunde inte offra familjen för klassen.”
― Per Anders Fogelström, Mina drömmars stad
