Kalla releases autobiography

At the beginning of June, Kalla told Langd.se that in the fall, she would release her autobiography “Skam den som ger sig” (Shame on giving up – free translation).

“The idea of ​​a book has been there during my career. But it was when I did my summer talk last year I felt there were many topics I wanted to cover in a book. And it has been a fascinating process,” says Kalla.

She has written the book with Johan Esk (sports journalist and columnist at Dagens Nyheter).

“I have been sincere in the book. The book is written in the first person; those are my experiences. What I felt and reflected on during my career was the important thing.”
