Om Granatträden Gått I Blom
Gerhard Meier (1917-2008) var en schweizisk författare och designer. Han inledde sin författarbana tämligen sent, men kom att vinna erkännande och en rad priser för både sin poesi och sina romaner. Om granatträden gått i blom är hans sista bok och beskriver hans hustrus död och minnet av henne. Det är det första av hans verk som översatts till svenska. Ebba Högström har översatt och skrivit ett efterord om Meier.
