Birgitta Trotzig (1929-) lives in the old university town of Lund, in southern Sweden. She has published a number of what might be described as poetic novels. Though she is a member of the Swedish Academy and respected in her own country as a writer of the highest order and though she has been translated into a number of languages, she has never before been translated into English. Why this should be is a mystery. She is the recipient of various awards including the Selma Lagerlof Prize for Literature and the Gerard Bonniers Prize. The book Sammanhang Material was nominated for the Nordic Council's Literature Prize.
