«Die Bienenväter» is the novel by Lars Norén, published by Suhrkamp Taschenbuch in paperback (173 pages, in German).
Set in Stockholm during a few summer weeks of 1969, the novel follows the author's alter ego in his encounters with characters living on the margins of society: addicts, prostitutes and loners. Norén portrays them with closeness and a sharp eye, revealing the wounds, traumas and tensions of each life.
The novel originally appeared in Swedish as «Biskötarna» in 1970; the German translation by Dorothea Bjelfvenstam was published in 1973 in the Suhrkamp Taschenbuch series (volume 117).
