Hur mår ni egentligen? (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Jag har kommit in i semesterlunket men är ändå lite sliten. Oroar mig lite över saker generellt. Hemfriden och självtiden. Läste en ytterst deprimerande dikt som hette "Orissa", men den var fin på ett sätt. Blev stressad av en amerikan som pratade och skrattade för högt på ett café. På det hela taget kunde det varit värre.

The usual answer for Sweden is "The Emigrants" (Utvandrarna) by Vilhelm Moberg. However, and I don't think this is obvious to foreign readers, the author John Ajvide Lindqvist really writes about Sweden. He's most famous for the book "Let the right one in" about a vampire kid, but the story is actually about growing up as a young boy in Sweden. The horror aspect is part of the genre, but all his books manage to mix a description of swedish society with a supernatural horror element.
