Ivar Lo-Johansson (1901-1990) was the last surviving member of the so-called "thirties generation" in Swedish literature: writers from impoverished, often rural backgrounds who were largely self-educated and who wrote extensively about their roots. His family in previous generations had been statare, or estate-workers, a category of non-landowning farm laborer attached to large baronial estates. In the 1950s the author began a series of autobiographical novels that examine the experiences of his youthful alter ego through the prism of humor and irony, yet without diminishing the reader's sympathy for the hardships the protagonist undergoes.
