The reactions after Sara Danius's death: "Leaving a giant hole"

The author and former Academy member Sara Stridsberg mourns her former colleague after the message that Sara Danius has passed away, 57 years old.

- She leaves a gigantic hole in the world. I am so sorry for her losing her life and for the world losing her. It's a sadness, she says.

“We will remember you. Your integrity. Your dignity. Your courage. Your love for the literary. Your fist flare which became a fighting symbol. A sophisticated knotted fist towards the patriarchy. Thanks for everything. ”Writes writer and author Alexandra Pascalidou in a post on Instagram.

The party fixer Micael Bindefeld also writes about the Academy's first female permanent secretary.

"Her brilliance, friendship, feminism and the way she used fashion to communicate will be missing forever," he writes in a post on Instagram.

"Sorrow. I don't usually find it difficult to find the words, but I have it now. And now it's too late ... We will miss your boldness, your integrity, your courage. Your fight for equality and women's leadership. Your love for the words and for the art, ”writes Center Party Party leader Annie Lööf after the message.
