Bertil Schütt(1909-1983)
- Writer
Swedish absurdist writer. The life he lead was as absurd as his books.
He was the older brother of Roland Schutt, who wrote the book
"Kadisbellan" ("The Slingshot"), that became a successful movie. In it
you can see the older brother (Bertil) training boxing with the little
brother (Roland) as a punch bag. Their mother was a Jewish seamstress
and father a socialist agitator in Stockholm. Bertil's autobiography
"En skuggboxares memoarer" ("Memoirs of a shadow boxer") came out in
1972.
