The journalist and author David Lagercrantz and Swedish football star Zlatan Ibrahimović met and agreed to work together: The result was I am Zlatan Ibrahimović, possibly the most successful book in Sweden in modern times. During the NORDWIND Festival the German theatre and film actor Rainer Strecker will read some parts of the book, accompanied by Lagercrantz who will present the history of the book. (Lecture is in english)

The book I am Zlatan Ibrahimović sold 500,000 copies in hardback in less than two months and has been published in over 20 countries. The newspaper The Financial Times called it the ‘best-selling European immigrant’s tale since Zadie Smith’s White Teeth. In 2012 I am Zlatan Ibrahimović became the first book of its kind to be nominated for the prestigious August Prize, a literary award named after August Strindberg.
