Happy Birthday, Lars Gustafsson! Rumor has it even the bees took a day off from mourning their favorite writer today. Your timeless story "The Death of a Beekeeper" proves that not everyone can charm both literary critics and insects alike—John Updike approved, after all!Whether crafting meticulous tales like "Sigismund," delighting readers with canine adventures in "The Tale of a Dog," or spinning ironic twists through your witty narratives such as those found in “Stories of Happy People,” you've kept us laughing and pondering life's mysteries.
Cheers to many more years filled with creativity—you’re truly Sweden’s sweetest storyteller!
