Lars Norén (born 9 May 1944) is a Swedish playwright, novelist and poet.[1] His plays are realistic and often revolve around family relations and the impoverished and rooted at the bottom of society.[2][3]
Career
His first publication was a collection of poems - Syrener, snö (Lilac, snow) in 1963.[1]
