Two world-class writers reveal themselves to be the ultimate soccer fans in these collected letters Karl Ove Knausgaard is sitting at home in Skåne with his wife, four small children, and dog. He is watching soccer on TV and falls asleep in front of the set. He likes 0-0 draws, cigarettes, coffee, and Argentina. Fredrik Ekelund is away, in Brazil, where he plays soccer on the beach and watches matches with others. Ekelund loves games that end up 4-3 and teams that play beautiful soccer. He likes caipirinhas and Brazil. Home and Away is an unusual soccer book, in which the two authors use soccer and the World Cup in Brazil as the arena for reflections on life and death, art and politics, class and literature. What does it mean to be at home in a globalized world? This exchange of letters opens up new vistas and gives us stories from the lives of two creative writers. We get under their skin and gain insight into their relationships with modern times and soccer’s place in their lives, the significance the game has for people in general, and the question Was this the best soccer championship ever?

Högt uppsatta finansmän påträffas bestialiskt mördade. De har varit inblandade i spekulationsaffärer och ekonomisk brottslighet. Polisen får snart ännu fler mordfall där det privata och det politiska oupphörligt tycks glida in i varandra. Nina har sett sin egen mor gå under och krossas, men själv tänker hon slå tillbaka, med den tyske terroristen Ulrike Meinhof som förebild. <i>Nina och sundet</i> är en stark skildring av klassklyftor och sociala orättvisor i Sverige idag.
