Stig Dagerman, born on October 5, 1923, was a prominent Swedish journalist. His career began in the 1940s, during which he was known for his sharp observations and profound insights. Dagerman's work covered a range of topics from society, politics, to culture, and his reports not only exposed social injustices but also reflected the complexity of human nature. Tragically, he died in a car accident on November 4, 1954, at the age of 31. more

“- Vous avez déjà entendu dire que rester assis était le plus court chemin vers la mort? m'a-t-il lancé entre deux halètements. Je mange comme un oisillon - des légumes, du poisson bouilli, du putain de quinoa - mais je reste assis toute la journée. Un gros lard qui engouffrait une barre au sirop d'érable m'a dépassé en courant jusqu'au quatrième étage. Une barre de sirop d'érable! Merde, qui mange ce genre de truc? - Les gens qui ne sont pas assis toute la journée? ai-je proposé.”

“How hindsight embarrasses us. It’s almost as if that’s her sole function, not reflection, not contextualisation, no. Just a note to let you know, on private moments of contemplation, just to say ‘oh dear, look what an idiot you were then’.”
