Carina Rydberg

Carina Rydberg (born 26 April 1962) is a Swedish writer. She caused a scandal in 1997 when she included unflattering descriptions of two famous Swedish men in her autobiographical novel Den högsta kasten (The Highest Caste).

Biography

Born in Stockholm, she grew up in the suburbs of Rågsved and Vårberg. After studying film, psychology and literature at Stockholm University, in 1987 she published her first novel Kallare än Kargil (Cooler than Kargil) about a disillusioned woman's travels in India.[1]

Her autobiographical Den högsta kasten (The Highest Caste) published in 1997 caused a sensation with unflattering accounts of two famous Swedes she named in the book.[2][3] Describing how it feels to be an outcast rejected by the men she desires, the novel goes far beyond what is normally expected of the author's role. Similarly her Djävulsformeln (Devil's Formula, 2000) contains a vendetta against a number of famous men.[4]

Rydberg was the screenwriter for Svart Lucia (1992), a psychological thriller.[1]

gollark: Yes, that's right. Promises are a monoid in the category of endofunctors.
gollark: Promises are very nice because MONAD.
gollark: Quite a lot of browser APIs are weirdly inconsistent, because they only came up with the whole "asynchronous" thing after a lot had already been done, and then a while after that the idea of promises, but they're still sticking with events a lot for some reason.
gollark: JS is what you get if you put 100 language designers in a room, remove the language designers and add a bunch of monkeys with typewriters and DVORAK keyboards, and then bring the actual language designers back but force them to stick with what the monkeys wrote and only make small changes and tack on extra features after the fact, and also the language designers don't agree with each other most of the time.
