Åsa Beckman is deputy director of culture and literary critic at Dagens Nyheter. She grows up in a family characterized by her father, the writer and poet Erik Beckman. Over the years, she has become interested in how children of writers seem to develop a co-dependence on their both stay and sensitive parents. These children understand one thing: that art is more important than life.
In the book Cultural children she tells for the first time directly about her own childhood and does not shy away from the difficult. Hear her in conversation with Karin Runevad, Public Library in Lund.
