How does it feel to quit?
– It feels both clarified and clarified. It’s my little life’s work I leave. It feels very natural to actually have time to do something else and to rest.
– You talk to a man who carries yesterday’s program in his body, with Abdellah Taïa and Lisa Ekdahl. I’m still a little stoned by that experience. But now it’s over and now I’m moving on.
What are you going to do now?
– There is a small place on earth called Bodafors. There I will start a Swedish writing scene. Then I will work with a kind of literary salons in Höganäs. It will be important for me to continue to devote myself above all to Swedish fiction.
It is said that the reactions to your quitting also include a greeting from the author Ian McEwan?
– Yes, he has written beautifully and thanked for what I did with the author scene. I get completely cracked when I read it, because I do not come from any academic home. My life is the game of chance, I happened to be a librarian on a splash of academic English points and work experience only.
