Om Eyvind Johnsons Stad i ljus

Sammanfattning

This is a study of Eyvind Johnson’s novel Stad i ljus from 1928, first

published in French as Lettre recommandée, 1927. The purpose has been to

prove that motives, themes and narrative techniques characteristic to

Johnson’s later writings is present as early as in this novel from the

twenties. In the novel as well as in the contemporary short stories Johnson

starts to explore the symbiosis between living, traveling and writing and

begins to use metafictionality as a method to approach autobiographical

material. (In Swedish)
