    • 2018 September 22, Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson, “En chosefri och rörande sjukhusvistelse [An unpretentious and moving hospital stay.]”, in Göteborgs-Posten:
      Det är en chosefri och rak sjukhusdagbok Ekman skrivit. Texten tycks liksom vara helt oredigerad och löper som en långdikt längs boksidorna. Den gör inte anspråk på att vara något litterärt mästerverk vilket paradoxalt är dess styrka.
      It is an unpretentious and straightforward hospital diary that Ekman has written. The text appears to be entirely unedited, running like a long poem across the pages. It does not aspire to be a literary masterpiece, which paradoxically is its strength.
    • 2019 August 3, Per Klingberg, “Medryckande chosefri blick på monumentet Leonardo [Engaging unpretentious view of the monument Leonardo]”, in Svenska Dagbladet:
      Författaren visar en djup förtrogenhet med ämnet och skriver chosefritt och med lätt hand om det överbegåvade universalgeniet.
      The author demonstrates a deep familiarity with the subject and writes in an unpretentious and light-handed manner about the supremely gifted universal genius.

      Det enda som jag saknar i mitt yrke som komiker är musikanter. Musikanter är bäst. Snabbtänkta, svängiga och sjåsfria. Och i sommar får jag det bästa från båda dessa världar.
      The only thing I miss in my profession as a comedian is musicians. Musicians are the best. Quick-witted, groovy, and unpretentious. And this summer, I get the best of both worlds.
