Peter Pohl

Peter Pohl (Hamburg, Germany, 5 december 1940) is a Swedish author, mainly of youth literature. As of 2005, he has written 25 books. 2 of those have been translated into English, 13 have been translated in a total number of 13 languages. Pohl's themes are sad: themes like death, bullying, loneliness are often part of his books, and almost none of his books have a happy ending. Many of his books have autobiographical elements, especially the rainbow-series. For many books, it is not clear whether those are youth books or adult books. They can be found in both sections of libraries. Most of the books are prose. Some books, like Vill dig and Minns det are poetic. Others, like Tillsammans kan vi förändra världen, are very difficult to place in a category.
