Review of 'Lasermannen: En berättelse om Sverige' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
This is a very insightful and complex book about John Ausonius, the man called "Lasermannen", where not only his life is portrayed, but in contrast with Swedish culture and politics during the 1980s and 1990s, where xenophobia plays a massive part, not only in how Ausonius reacted to things, but to how people reacted to his acts, where he murdered one person and shot many.
The author is, which is correct to me, critical of how the police handled the case, as well as giving praise where it is deserved. It's interesting to see how incompetent parts of the police were, as well as how strange the Swedish political scene was, especially as Ny Demokrati entered as a new, weird and xenophobic political party.
