Alexander Ahndoril

a Swedish novelist and playwright

His eighth novel The Director is the most discussed and written-about novel in Sweden for 15 years.

Jeremy Irons:  'What a great read it is! The writer seduced me into this world through his tale in much the same mesmerising way that Bergman might do in one of his films. A wonderful novel.’

Ingmar Bergman: 'it's an insult!' (September 2006)

Ingmar Bergman: ‘I was deeply moved and think you’re a fantastic novelist!’ (March 2006)

Compelling and breathtakingly original, The Director mixes biographical fact with wild kaleidoscopic imagination to reveal the boy and the man behind the great film-maker.

'Exuberant and deeply moving, irreverent and full of love – it doesn’t resemble any other novel I have ever read!'
(Svenska Dagbladet)

'It is so beautiful it makes your heart ache.’
