She debuted with the novel <em>Happy Sally<\/em> (2004). And already in 2007 she received the Nordic Council Literature Prize for the novel Dr\u00f6mfakulteten (2006), a free fantasy about the femenist Valerie Solanas, who wrote <em>the SCUM manifesto &#8211; Society for cutting up<\/em> <em>men<\/em> and who was featured as the woman who shot American artist Andy Warhold in 1968. In 2010 <em>Darling River<\/em> was published and Stridsberg has along the way also written the drama pieces <em>Valerie Solanas will be president of America<\/em> (2008), <em>Medealand<\/em> (2009) and <em>Dissekering av ett sn\u00f6fall<\/em> (2012). Her novel <em>Beckomberga. Ode to my family<\/em> (2014), also set up as a theater piece, is based on childhood memories from family visits to Sweden&#8217;s once largest psychiatric hospital. Two years later, the <em>American Hotel<\/em> came out, and in the autumn of 2018 the <em>K\u00e4rlekens Antarktis<\/em> will be published.<\/p>\n<p>The event begins at 19.30, and everyone is welcome as long as there is room.
