Karolina Ramqvist

Karolina Ramqvist is one of the most influential Swedish writers and feminists of her generation. In 2015, she was awarded the prestigious P.O. Enquist Prize for the novel Den hvite byen (Gyldendal, 2016). Ramqvist has written five novels and achieved her breakthrough in 2009 with Kjæresten (Gyldendal, 2009), while Alltings början (2012) quickly attained cult status and placed Ramqvist in the international spotlight for her ability to pose restrained yet charged questions rather than offering easy, outspoken answers.

Contemporary themes such as sexuality, commercialization, isolation, and belonging become explosive in her deft hands, even as her style remains understated and lyrical—intense yet meditative. Den første boka (2025) was awarded the Swedish Radio Novel Prize in 2025.
