Lina Arvidsson, born 1981, is a Swedish author, writing coach, and poet.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Arvidsson made her debut in 2012 with the young adult's novel Det borde finnas regler (There should be rules). In 2014 she followed this up with the book Säg inte det här till någon (Do not say this to anyone) which was published under the pseudonym "Ariel Held". In 2020 this was followed by the book Aldrig ensam (Never Alone), a collection of horror-genre short stories.[1] Aldrig ensam was positively review by the reviewer Lena Nöjd writing for dagensbok.com, who said that "Narrative pace and psychological insight go hand in hand. The alternation between everydayness and fear is imperceptible, never artificial in a sought-after way".[3] In 2021 her book of poetry, Vänligen bygg inga berg (do not build mountains) was published, which focused on the people who serve in shops and aspects of working in stores, and which was based on her experiences when she worked as treasurer for 13 years for the Swedish food retail group ICA. Donia Saleh, reviewing Vänligen bygg inga berg for the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, praised Arvidsson's "poetic sharpness" but also criticised her "haughty morality, which occasionally tires me out".[4]

Berättartempo och psykologisk insikt går hand i hand. Växlingen mellan vardaglighet och skräck är omärkbar, aldrig konstlad på ett sökt sätt.

Det finns ofta en poetisk skärpa i Arvidssons dikter och det är skrivet med omsorg inför kunderna, kollegorna och arbetsplatsen. Men ibland övergår omsorgen till en slags högfärdig moral, som emellanåt tröttar ut mig.
