The Aftonbladet Literary Prize 2022 is awarded to Ia Genberg, writer of the August prize winning and highly acclaimed The Details. The jury’s motivation is as follows: “With the latest novel, the curiosity for humans is refined as the author’s signum. The vision is clear, yet forgiving. It relies on the people who come and go through a life and who’s imprints make us who we are. The book stays close to every day life, but billows like a body in constant movement. With a focus on the concentration of moments, the story reaches beyond clichés and the latches of chronology.”
The prize has since 1957 been awarded “on exclusively artistic grounds to any Swedish writer who is still in creative development”.
