Ivar Lo-Johansson

    February 23, 1901 – April 11, 1990

    Ivar Lo-Johansson was a Swedish writer recognized for his contributions to the proletarian school of literature. His novels, short stories, and journalism vividly depicted the circumstances of Swedish agricultural laborers and other disadvantaged groups, often sparking controversy. Lo-Johansson consistently advocated for a literary perspective that embraced the underdog's viewpoint, insisting that literature should face the world from their position. He is also celebrated for his evocative recollections of Swedish trade-unionist and literary circles during the mid-20th century.
