About Olle Hedberg
- Carl Olof "Olle" Hedberg (31 May 1899, Norrköping, Sweden – 20 September 1974, Verveln, Östergötland, Sweden) was a Swedish author. Hedberg is known as a probing satirist of the middle class and conventional world in general.
- His first novel, Rymmare och fasttagare (Prisoner's base), was published in 1930, and from then on would write a novel every year for the next several decades.
- His works of the 1940s entail a search for religious and moral values.
- Bekänna färg (Show one’s hand), published in 1947, is considered to be one of his most important novels from this period. His works do not aspire to a philosophical greatness.
- Rather he himself is more of a realist and a disenchanted moralist.
- He was a member of the Swedish Academy from 1957. Hedberg committed suicide 1974, a few weeks after his daughter Birgitta succumbed to a sudden illness.
