Lars Gustafsson was born in Västerås, Sweden, in 1936. After taking a doctor’s degree at the University of Uppsala in 1962 he became editor of the leading literary periodical Bonniers Litterära Magasin. His publications reflect a broad range of interest and expertise, extending through philosophy, history, sociology and mathematics, as well as literary criticism, poetry, short stories and novels.
His fiction published by Harvill includes The Death of a Beekeeper, The Tale of a Dog, and A Tiler's Afternoon, which was shortlisted for the Dublin International Impac Award and was described by the Independent as ‘a beautifully conceived poetic allegory about an artist's life'.
A most beautiful book – its theme, fantasy as a form of escape
- Gerhard Mack, Die Welt
With this masterly and probing tale Gustafsson the moralist draws up the balance sheet of his own work as a writer… It is the self-portrait of the artist as an old man, and it reflects both his passion and his serenity
Der Spiegel
These few dozen pages pack a remarkable punch
