Machine-translated from the Swedish article

Hubert Bertil Napoleon Pettersson, born 16 April 1932 in Gamla stan, Stockholm, is a Swedish author and humorist. After his debut in 1958 with the poetry collection Utkast he has published some fifty books, mostly short prose and poetry (he sometimes wrote under the pseudonym Margaretha Malm). Around the same time as his debut he made, together with among others Lasse O'Månsson, the radio programme Blå tummen, which became the breakthrough of 'sick humour' in Sweden.
