     Drygt ett år tog det att pränta ned livet från åren då han växte upp som nyckelbarn i en omodern tvåa i Uppsala med fattiga föräldrar, blev pappa vid 18 års ålder och genomgick en skilsmässa.

     It took just over a year to set down the story of his life, from growing up as a latchkey kid in an old-fashioned one bedroom flat in Uppsala with poor parents, to becoming a father at 18 and going through a divorce.

• (apartment): In Sweden, apartments are generally defined by their total number of rooms, excluding the kitchen (as well as bathrooms and hallways). So an apartment with one living room, one bedroom and a kitchen is a tvåa (literally “two-er”).
