SOS från mänskligheten

2008 • 260 pages

SOS från mänskligheten is a contemporary story that moves between all layers of society and asks questions about the origin of evil, about the limits of goodness and love and about the courage to take command of one's own life, instead of standing by and watching it pass.

What, and who, is Benjamin, the one who tattoos flowers on his upper body - a flower for everyone he has loved and perhaps saved to a better life? In his parents' eyes, he is a murderer, a traitor. In the eyes of the customers, he is a skilled escort that several of them fall in love with and find comfort in: Mikael, the businessman who doesn't want to be touched, just sleep, and the certainty that someone is watching over him. Erika, the high-achieving career woman who loves her partner but can't stand his children, can't stand the "love competition". And then Katja, the wheelchair-bound tattoo artist who worships Benjamin's skin. Katja, who dreams of air under her wings and a child to hold in her arms.
