With stories about an uptight butler, a naive AI robot or cloned teenagers, Nobel Prize laureate Kazuo Ishiguro’s books take us to other worlds where nothing is as it first seems.
Hear author David Lagercrantz talk about Kazuo Ishiguro, and how Ishiguro’s novels help us see the reality with new eyes. In its citation, the Swedish Academy said Ishiguro’s novels ‘have exposed the abyss beneath our apparent belonging in the world with powerful emotional impact’.
What can you experience while reading? What does David Lagercrantz recognise in himself? And how do you write books that both shed light on eternal questions and also say something about our time? The conversation (in Swedish) is led by Gustav Källstrand and recorded for the Nobel Prize Museum’s podcast Idéer som förändrar världen.
Author David Lagercrantz is one of Sweden’s most widely read authors. His biography Jag är Zlatan (2011) was a reader and critical success and was nominated for the August Prize. In 2015, he took on Stieg Larsson’s mantle as author of the books in the Millennium series. Lagercrantz’s latest book Post Mortem, is the third part in his acclaimed crime series.
