Johanna Holmström has been bestowed with the 2020 Längmanska Commission’s Prize in Sweden, for Author of the Year.

The motivation is as follows: “Johanna Holmström (b. 1981) is one of Finland’s most fearless authors, whose short stories and novels with a shrewd gaze capture people’s, and above all women’s, struggles. Her texts exhibit a power that carries them far, both into the human psyche and beyond Finland’s borders. Holmström’s texts move, rattle and unsettle, and leave no one indifferent.”
