Ukraine
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, Swedish publishers and libraries have testified to a great interest in Ukrainian literature.
Guest Oksana Zabuzjko describes art as part of the defense of one's own country and Russian literature as something that tries to excuse and justify evil.
An interesting starting point for a conversation at the Book Fair, an event that almost casually connects literature with positive social development and a deepened understanding of each other.
The book fair by night
In the evening, you will be able to hear Carl-Michael Edenborg discuss the benefits of writing schools with Josefine de Gregorio, Kayo Mpoyi and Johan Heltne.
In "Sympathy for the Devil" Heltne described the climate at Sweden's most prestigious writers' school, Biskops-Arnö, as both politically and aesthetically sectarian.
Extra interesting as the institution's influence on cultural Sweden is indisputable.
Of the authors who are nominated for debutante prizes, 40 percent have attended Biskops Arnö.
The climate
Frecka on Twitter mocks the book fair's campaign with "signs of hope" for the climate, and culture writer Saga Wallander writes in Göteborgs-Posten that the best thing for the planet would be if the book fair shut down completely.
This year, to her chagrin, it remains, and the climate theme is implemented in addition to the jump signs also in the seminar point Nature writing - to become nature.
Is it possible to capture experiences beyond the human with a human language?
That is what the authors Jonas Gren, Helen Macdonald and Maria Turtschaninoff will try to investigate.
For a few years now, there has been a movement to give nature legal rights, now most recently described in the book "Naturlagen".
Next year, perhaps the book fair can give the Whanganui River, rather than Frida Boisen, its own protest sign.
The Palm Murder
In the new "Koryféerna", Lena Andersson strikes a blow for the conspiracy theory as a method to find the truth in the world's largest police investigation of all time, and as always, she writes entertainingly about the wrong sides of the orphanage.
The sun has its course and even if the preliminary investigation leader Krister Petersson has declared the case solved by the police, the private detectives continue to spy.
At the Book Fair, Lena Andersson meets the magazine Filters Mattias Göransson and Thomas Pettersson and the review commission's chief secretary Hans-Gunnar Axberger.
I suspect it could be a rowdy conversation.
Stefan Ingvarsson, analyst at the Center for Eastern European Studies and co-editor of the anthology "Under Ukraine's open sky" hints at four Ukrainian writers in the video.
