Lars Gustafsson: “Why my vote goes to the Pirate Party” (English translation of
today’s text)
,----[ Quote ]
| Lars Gustafsson is probably Sweden’s most profilic living writer. Since the
| late 1950’s he has produced a steady flow of poetry, novels and literary
| criticism. At the same time, he has until recently been active as professor
| of philosophy at the University of Texas. Now he’s back in Sweden and just
| started publishing himself on a blog. He has also received a long list of
| literary awards, most recently – only two days ago – the Selma Lagerlöf
| award.
