About the author

Norén is considered Sweden's most prominent contemporary playwright of today. He wrote his first play at age 19. His first publication was a collection of poems - Syrener, snö (Lilac, snow) in 1963. His plays are realistic and often revolve around family relations and the impoverished and routed at the bottom of society.
Norén became well known in connection with the murders of two policemen in Malexander in 1999. The culprits had received furlough from their incarceration at Österåker jail to participate in Norén's play 7:3.

In 1971 he received Aftonbladet's literary prize.

Reviews

[Andreas]

”Jag kastade upp min mors aska i luften / och den stannade där, faller aldrig ner”

[Sara Sheikhi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Den är som allra bäst när Norén inte saxar ur filosofiska verk, vilket ibland blir fel och landar fel, utan håller sig till egna formuleringar.
