Jack Hilden writes in Aftonbladet (27/2.) reply to my chronicle (DN 25/2) on the literary genrernas guldåldrar where I write that gold is now the prerogative of the autofiktionen.
Jack Hilden lifts and think that I am a breakfast table video conference. No, I think there are good and bad there as elsewhere. You can still problematize the literary genres. Reflect on why that part feels extinct, and why it’s right now is a special genre that will enkindle the media and are given large space.
Per Anders Fogelström and arbetarförfattarna told about the emergence of a new Sweden, it is neither surprising nor deplorable that their way to tell is passed. Now everything looks different and requires other literary resources.
as in Sweden and in part of Europe the biggest media crowd out a large part of other fiction, I think, has to do with the fact that the self is the only one bearing the identity we perceive we have. The social affiliation that came through the class, the family, the family is extremely weakened.
The larger stories of the community have instead been taken care of by the detective story even if one should not exaggerate the ambition there, kriminalgenren have other priorities. And of the tv series, which is pumped out into the streaming, bulk. Where in season 1-5 are the stories that in a thousand ways tells us how our conditions look like. Where have autofiktionen problems to compete.
