Mian Lodalen, b. 1962 in Jönköping, Sweden is a noted Swedish journalist, columnist, feminist debater and the author of several books. Taking sides with the outcasts of modern society, she writes with great pathos and humour about the gay world, the feminist and vegan movements, drag queens, drag kings and inseminations. In her acclaimed debut The shameless sisters of the Crumble club (Smulklubbens skamlösa systrar), we get to know My, a single girl in contemporary Stockholm, as she experiences strong friendship, sex, love and relationships. Selected book of the year by the Swedish gay magazine QX, it has been translated into several languages and film rights have been sold to Nordisk Film. The outsider perspective was followed up in 2005 in the critically celebrated Threesome (Trekant), a stand-alone sequel to the aforementioned book, in which the female main character explores her relationship with Bob, another girl.
In The fool’s daughter (Dårens dotter), Lodalen writes about Connie, a flat-chested teenage girl who grows up in Jönköping, the Free Church metropolis of south of Sweden, in the seventies. Partly autobiographic, it is a dark yet humorous story about a girl’s love for her unusual father. The praised sequel Tiger, published in 2010, is a coming of age story, which bravely portrays a young girl’s awakening sexuality. Mian Lodalen works and lives in Stockholm. |

There is a catching joy of words and a specific determination in Mian Lodalen’s books, which convince the reader that – even though it may look dark – her characters always will walk stronger out of their experiences. […] Undeniably, there are authors that polish their writing more than Lodalen does, but she can compare herself to the best when it comes to level of urgency. - Svenska Dagbladet In spite of the sad love story and the crash of destructivity straight into death, Tiger remains an uplifting book. There is something unshakeable and important to draw from Connie’s pragmatic intelligence. - Expressen [In Tiger] you do not find any stereotypes, only human beings. Tiger is a sincere and loving novel. […] When the ending comes, I cry. - Helsingborgs Dagblad |
