SWEDISH REVIEWS OF THE MANIFESTO

Here are some excerpts from the swedish reviews of The Parapornographic Manifesto, translated by me:

David Stenbeck in Kristianstadsbladet: "an interesting and important book" – http://www.kristianstadsbladet.se/kultur/bokrecensioner/article1628817/For-porren-i-samtiden.html

Elin Lucassi i Litteraturmagazinet: "well worth reading (and re-reading) when you return home and wishes for your sunburned head to do some work" – http://www.litteraturmagazinet.se/carl-michael-edenborg/det-parapornografiska-manifestet/recension/elin-lucassi

Benny Holmberg in Tidningen Kulturen: "it is a very interesting and in some parts highly provocative pamphlet Edenborg has written" – http://tidningenkulturen.se/artiklar/litteratur/litteraturkritik/12244-litteratur-carl-michael-edenborg-det-parapornografiska-manifestet

Unsigned, in Arbetet: "teaches us how to relate the postpornographic state that keeps us prisoners" – http://arbetet.se/2012/05/29/ink-forlags-serie/

Erik van Ooijen in Kulturdelen: "Carl-Michael Edenborg's Det parapornografiska manifestet is a crazily stimulating read, that with both elegance and insurrection manages to collect a wealth of exciting ideas and impulses" – http://www.kulturdelen.com/2012/05/29/bok-det-parapornografiska-manifestet/

Nina Lekander in Aftonbladet: "instead of a sex-obsessed publisher - I prefer a sex-obsessed writer, that has put on  Bengt Anderberg's, Hans Nestius', Inge & Sten's, Suzanne Brøgger's och Kathy Acker's wings and flown further" – http://mobil.aftonbladet.se/kultur/bokrecensioner/article14943668.ab

John Sjögren in Uppsala Nya Tidning: "Edenborg formulates, with a verbal fire that reminds me of the intensity in the classic modernistic manifestoes, a critique of both commercial pornography and the censoring antipornographic movement" – http://www.unt.se/kultur/litteratur/ett-manifest-som-klar-av-skammen-1767786.aspx

Jens Liljestrand in Sydsvenskan: "a both stimulating and worrying pamphlet against humanism, an intellectual crusade on slack rope against our time's established ideas of gender, power, sexuality and ethics" – http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/det-jaglosa-runket
