There's a book called Doktor Glas which is pretty good, feels a bit like Crime and Punishment. It's really short and I would recommend it. It's available in English as well.

Beyond that, they have a lot of detective fiction which might not be considered literature but is still a fun read.

If you're into literary film or watching plays, Ingmar Bergman is held by many to be one of the best directors. You'd probably be reading subtitles, but he has plenty of great films, and directed a classic lit as movies or plays. I would recommend Smustronstallet(spelling is a little off) or The Seventh Seal, or Fanny and Alexander.

Everything Strindberg has ever written. If you're into plays, he was a revolutionary figure, especially in his later plays (A Dream Play, The Road to Damascus), but his novels are very good as well - The Red Room in particular has some of the greatest acerbic satire I've read. If you're going to pick up a novel by him, don't do it haphazardly, He went insane in his mid-forties, around 1894-1896, and it shows in his writing, especially in Inferno, but you can see the seeds of insanity already in the autobiographical "In Defense of the Fool" that came some time before his crisis. That his work from this period is insane doesn't mean it's bad, far from it, it just makes much more sense to read it last, as that will illuminate that there is some method to his madness. Reading it right off the bat might leave you with the false impression that he was just "lol so randumb xD".

I'd say start with either The Red Room or Giftas. I see just now that Bergman has been mentioned, it's worthwhile to mention that Bergman considered Strindberg one of his his greatest inspirations.

That's French for nothing

I'm the person from the post above yours. I knew I was forgetting something somehow. Strindberg is phenomenal. A Dreamplay is probably one of my favorite texts.

Besides this, Pär Lagerkvist. In particular Barabbas and The Dwarf. Both are fairly short.

Seconding Lagerkvist and Strindberg.
Per Anders Fogelström and Fredrika Bremer are both great, but it seems pretty hard to find translations of Fogelström.

It's also French for footstep.

It's also Dutch for a pass or a step, but neither of that all would make sense.

Hope you grew up reading Lindgren, OP
