Josef Kjellgren, born 13 november 1907 in Mörkö, Södermanland, died 8 april 1948 in Stockholm, was a swedish writer.[1]
Kjellgren was a proletarian writer and a member of the influential modernist literary group Fem unga ("Five young men") who published an anthology of the same name in 1929. Kjellgrens main theme was solidarity within the working class. He published modernist proletarian poetry and books about his travels in Europe in the early 1930's. But he is best known for his later novels, including Människor kring en bro (1935), about the building of Västerbron in Stockholm, and Smaragden (1939).[1][2]
Kjellgren was also a journalist and wrote a play, Okänd svensk soldat (1938), which was later filmed. He died of tubercolosis in 1948.[1][2]
