    AWARDED SVENSK BOKKONST 2022 - Best book design

    Hilowle's debut book is based on his grandmothers story. A book about feeling homesick, longing for a time that has passed and creating a new home with loved ones. From the publisher: Text and image meet in something that is as much a work of art as a document. Told from the perspective of a Somali woman, it simultaneously portrays a larger Somali-Swedish and general human experience. It is a story about the little man in the big world, about the forest, nature, medium-sized cities - and about Somalis in Sweden, one of the country's largest minority groups, who despite this have few platforms in the Swedish public. Salad Hilowle: "It is an intimate depiction - reminiscent of the diary - of people and places we rarely meet in Swedish books. I want to show the readers that everything that happens or happened in Somalia and Sweden does not necessarily separate us from each other. We may have more in common than many people think, how we are, for example, shaped by our loved ones – regardless of where we come from.” Swedish.... Text och bild möts i något som är lika mycket konstverk som dokument. Berättad ur en somalisk kvinnas perspektiv gestaltar den samtidigt en större somalisvensk och allmänmänsklig erfarenhet. Det är en berättelse om den lilla människan i stora världen, om skogen, naturen, mellanstora städer –och om somalier i Sverige, en av landets största minoritetsgrupper, som trots det har få plattformar i svensk offentlighet. Salad Hilowle igen: ”Det är en intim skildring – som påminner om dagboken – av personer och platser vi sällan möter i svenska böcker. Jag vill visa läsarna att allt som sker eller skett i Somalia och Sverige inte nödvändigtvis skiljer oss från varandra. Vi kanske har mer gemensamt än många tror, hur vi till exempel formas genom våra nära och kära – oavsett var vi kommer ifrån.”
