Career
She made her debut with the book Smärtpunkten - Lars Norén, pjäsen Sju tre och morden i Malexander. The book was nominated for the August prize for non-fiction in 2009, and is translated into Polish. In 2010 she received the Jarl Alfredius stipendium with the motivation: "time after time she manages to treat contemporary social issues with great curiosity and sensitivity" ( "medical stor nyfikenhet och känslighet gång på gång förmår skildra dagens samhällsfrågor").
In August 2011 she released the book Och i Wienerwald står träden kvar based on 500 letters written to a young boy from his family in Vienna after he had fled to Sweden in 1939 as a refugee from the Nazis.
In 1943 the police created a dossier on him under the heading "Nazi". The book also revealed that in an interview Åsbrink made with Kamprad in 2010 he said that he had been loyal to the Swedish fascist leader Per Engdahl.
The book has been translated into German, Dutch, Polish, Danish, Norwegian, Slovakian and Estonian. In 2012 she debuted as a playwright with the play "RÄLiberal Studies", based on the authentic minutes from a meeting convened by Herman Göring in 1938, and interviews with child refugees from Nazi Germany.
This was followed by the plays Pojken och Det Sjungande Trädet and Doctor Alzheimer.
On 13 July 2010, Åsbrink was the host of the radio show Sommar i P1 on Swedish Public Radio, Sveriges Radio.
