== Early life ==
Karjel grew up in the small city of Örebro, the son of a Swedish mother, Solveig, and an Estonian father, Raivo. His father escaped Estonia as a child at the end of World War II. "Perhaps my mixed Swedish-Estonian background created a permanent inner tension," Karjel wrote in an author profile. "The almost mythic stories of heroism I heard growing up clashed with the dullness of the Swedish suburb where I lived."〔(【引用サイトリンク】location=Stockholm, Sweden )〕
