Vahet pole - Hans Olsson

Johan Alexander is in ninth grade. He is one of the leaders of the boys' club, plays basketball and guitar, is popular with girls and lives a seemingly carefree life. But beneath this outward carefreeness lies a personality torn apart by demons. Because he is interested in other boys, not girls. How will he solve his problems? Will he dare to take the decisive step and speak out?
«It Doesn't Matter» is Hans Olsson's debut novel. When the book was published in 1993, it won the August Prize. After its publication in Germany, the novel was awarded the prestigious German Youth Literature Prize. Unique for a debut novel!
Comment from the newspaper Dagens Nyheter: Here, there is a perfect balance of torment and self-irony. And that is what is needed for a book on such a sensitive topic as homosexuality and the longing for love to be both thought-provoking and entertaining. You won't put this book down just like that!
