Author Visit – Berthil Åkerlund
Two young boys, Berra and Benny, make a macabre discovery in a railway wagon in Skellefteå during the summer of 1965.
They recognize the man who’s been dumped among the slaughter remains from the nearby slaughterhouse – known locally as “the Miner” – and they choose not to tell anyone what they’ve seen, out of fear of getting into trouble themselves.
Berthil Åkerlund was born in Skellefteå in 1954 and has worked as a journalist since 1979.
He has worked at Norra Västerbotten, Expressen, and freelanced for weekly publications.
Berthil made his literary debut in 1992 with an interview book featuring well-known Swedes.
For many years, he wrote for humanitarian organizations, resulting in several documentary novels – primarily set in Africa.
