About Me
- Lars Gustafsson
- Lars Gustafsson (born May 17, 1936) is a Swedish, poet, novelist and scholar. He was born in Västerås, completed his secondary education at the Västerås gymnasium and continued to Uppsala University; he received his Licentiate degree in 1960 and was awarded his Ph.D. in Theoretical Philosophy in 1978. He lived in Austin, Texas until 2003, and has recently returned to Sweden. He served as a professor at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, where he taught Philosophy and Creative Writing, until May 2006, when he retired. Gustafsson is one of the most prolific Swedish writers since August Strindberg. Since the late 1950s he has produced a voluminous flow of poetry, novels, short stories, critical essays, and editorials. He is also an example of a Swedish writer who has gained international recognition with literary awards such as the Prix International Charles Veillon des Essais in 1983, the Heinrich Steffens Preis in 1986, Una Vita per la Litteratura in 1989, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for poetry in 1994, and several others.
Lieber Lars Gustafsson, Sollten Sie mit Ihren neuen Erzählungen eine Lesereise durch Deutschland machen, bitte kündigen sie diese hier auf dem Blog an. Das letzte mal hatte ich erst hinterher erfahren, dass Sie in München eine Lesung im Literaturhaus hatten. Es wäre schade, wenn ich (und andere Ihrer treuen Leser) die Gelegenheit noch einmal verpassen.

Dear Lars Gustafsson, in case you plan a reading tour through Germany with your new book, please announce it here on your blog. I still regrett that I missed your last literature evening here at the Munich Literaturhaus, since it was badly advertised.
ReplyDeletebest grettings, Michael
for many years I visited a little house near Sunne in Ängen by the Björnlakes. An old lady was the owner and often told tales like in the "leseprobe"… & I often saw her sitting like on the photo with many many mushrooms. When she was 80 years old she sold the house, but the remembrance lives on. Next month she becomes 82 and I be happy to found an excellent present.
