Membranje040 Membranje: švedska delavska džungla z Borutom Golobom Švedska velja za zgled socialne države. Toda življenje švedskega pisatelja Kristiana Lundberga, ki se je moral preživljati z delom v malmöjskem pristanišču za pretovarjanje avtomobilov, je bolj spominjalo na prizore z začetka dvajsetega stoletja.

Njuno osebno in ustvarjalno odraščanje je Patti opisala v knjigi Pač mulca, poetičnemu in rahločutnemu posvetilu njunemu razmerju, ki se kljub razhajanjem in srečevanjem ni...
