Hedberg is known as a probing satirist of the middle class and conventional world in general. His first novel, Rymmare och fasttagare (Prisoner's base), was published in 1930, and from then on would write a novel every year for the next several decades. His works of the 1940s entail a search for religious and moral values. Bekänna färg (Show one’s hand), published in 1947, is considered to be one of his most important novels from this period.
His works do not aspire to a philosophical greatness. Rather he himself is more of a realist and a disenchanted moralist. He was a member of the Swedish Academy from 1957.
Hedberg committed suicide 1974, a few weeks after his daughter Birgitta succumbed to a sudden illness.
