This year's literature prize winner will be presented as usual at 13.00 in Börshuset in Stockholm.

Permanent Secretary Mats Malm is the one who opens the doors and reads out the motivation.

This time for a corona-slim press contingent.

Two awards last year

After the literature prize was canceled in 2018 due to the scandals surrounding the Swedish Academy, two prizes were awarded last year.

The Ukrainian author Olga Tokarczuk was awarded the delayed prize for 2018 and the Austrian Peter Handke received the 2019 prize.
