Guest medallion

Jacob Sundberg

The Swedish columnist, copywriter and communications specialist studied journalism and religious studies in London and spent several years in Stockholm, where he dabbled in stand-up comedy. His texts combine mastery of language and an eye for detail with his ability to sense the opportunity for a humorous plot. His collection of short stories We'll Call You (in Czech: Dáme vám vědět, Malvern, 2025) brings more or less realistic, absurd and humorous experiences from job interviews. How much trouble can you get into for your prejudices? Who is the bigger fool, the candidate or the employer? How much can be ruined by one mug with a cartoon character? There are true characters on both sides of the table, so get ready, we’re gonna have fun!
