Wiman, who is an author and cultural director at Dagens Nyheter, will depict how Enquist's life and literature are intertwined with the emergence of modern Sweden.

PO Enquist is one of the intellectuals who not only portrayed Sweden - he helped create it. In addition to being an exceptional poet, he was, I think, a very ordinary Swedish man, Wiman tells Expressen.

PO Enquist passed away in 2020. The biography is expected to be published in 2030.
