«Hoppsan, Jag är Död!» is Arto Paasilinna's humor novel translated into Swedish by Camilla Frostell and published by Brombergs in hardcover (195 pages).
The protagonist, a journalist, dies run over while crossing a street because he is distracted by looking at a young woman. Turned into a ghost, he discovers he can float among the living and interact with other dead people; but no spirit lives forever and recklessness does not go without consequences.
The work was originally published in Finnish as «Herranen Aika» in 1980; this Swedish edition appeared in 2001.
