Karolina Ramqvist is one of the most influential writers and feminists of her generation in Sweden. She has written five novels prior to Bread and Milk and is widely celebrated for her powerful ability to provoke quiet yet fierce questions rather than provide loud and easy answers. In her skillful hands, contemporary issues of sexuality, commercialization, isolation, and belonging become highly charged and, at the same time, completely unaffected.
In 2015 Ramqvist was awarded the prestigious P. O. Enquist Literary Prize for her novel The White City (Grove). She is also the author of The Bear Woman (2022).
Saskia Vogel grew up in Los Angeles and currently lives in Berlin, where she works as a writer and Swedish-to-English literary translator. She has written on the themes of gender, power, and sexuality for publications such as The White Review, The Offing, and The Quietus. Previously, she worked as Granta magazine's global publicist and as an editor at the AVN Media Network, where she reported on pornography and adult pleasure products. She is the author of the novel Permission.
