Mian Lodalen awarded ABF literary scholarship for portrayals of women with warmth and courage

Mian Lodalen is awarded ABF's literary scholarship of 100,000 kronor. She receives it because she has portrayed women with "warmth and courage" who, despite the prejudices of the outside world, dared to be themselves.

The jury also highlights how Lodalen's writing, at a time when threats and hatred against the LGBTQI movement are increasing, calls for a fight against injustice and prejudice.

"No justification could have been more beautiful," says Mian Lodalen in a press release.

Mian Lodalen's novel "Lisa and Lilly - a true love story" is now being made into a film with a planned premiere in autumn 2027.

She will receive the ABF scholarship at the Gothenburg Book Fair on Saturday.
