99 books22 followersJohn Stig Claesson, also known under his signature Slas, was a Swedish writer, visual artist, and illustrator. Claesson was born on 2 June 1928 in Huddinge, south of Stockholm. He attended the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts between 1947 and 1952, during which time he began to illustrate Swedish literature such as the novels of Per Anders Fogelström. Claesson was the father of actor Leif Claesson.
Claesson debuted in his writing career in 1956, when he was 28 years of age. During his career Claesson published more than 80 books. A number of his books are based on travel abroad and move in the frontier between reporting and fiction. Among his best-known works include En vandring i solen (Walking in the Sun, 1976), which was made into a film with Gösta Ekman in the role of the main character. Claesson provided works about the remote and rural regions of Sweden and describe the conflict between the town and the country in books such as Vem älskar Yngve Frej (1968; Who loves Yngve Frej), which was translated into 10 languages and was filmed for television in 1973 starring Allan Edwall. A stage adaption was created in the 1990s. His last book was God Natt Fröken Ann (Goodnight, Miss Ann), published in 2006.
Stig Claesson's work has received many awards, such as the literature prize of the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet and the Selma Lagerlöf Prize. The University of Uppsala awarded him an honorary doctorate degree in 1974.
The elder Claesson died on 4 January 2008 in Stockholm.

Den här tyckte jag var riktigt bra. Det är lite som en fortsättning på Följ Alltid Cecilias Exempel, där Stig Claesson har placerats i en stuga på den Kanadensiska landsbygden tillsammans med sin svärmor medan hans fru träffar släkten på annat håll.
I Min Vän Charlie är stämningen inte lika mörk som i Följ..., och Stig med svärmor tillbringar tiden med att rusta upp och driva ett fiskecenter vid St. Laurent floden.
Det händer inte jättemycket men den är skriven på ett underhållande och engagerande sätt och historian och personerna känns intressanta.
En av Stig Claessons bästa skulle jag nog säga.

Ця книжка має всі шанси стати моєю улюбленою книжкою, яку я досі читала на шведській, тому про неї я напишу колись більше у блозі.
