Awards


The Borås Tidning Award for Best Literary Debut, 2007 "For an inventive diary novel, where literature becomes the existential element in a straggly sparkling work of art, giving new life to a classical genre."


The Catapult Prize, 2007


"Everything is a novel, an all-embracing book, diary, catalogue, collage, panorama of our age and the history and the time passing while we live. With her frenzy, with the traveling, trotting, running through the allday of an intellectual young woman, through the ambition to take care of as much as possible of all there is room for in a contemporary life, Martina Lowden has done something great. A well composed, beautiful and touching work of art."
