László Krasznahorkai receives the Nobel Prize – and at the publishing giant Norstedts, one brings out the champagne. It is a dream, says publishing manager Håkan Bravinger to TT.

When Mats Malm presented this year's Nobel Prize winners in literature, there was jubilation at Norstedts on Riddarholmen in Stockholm.

We will celebrate by calling the printers, says Peter Karlsson, editor and publisher.

The publishing manager Håkan Bravinger joined the celebration a little later and was welcomed with streamers.

It's probably six books we have published by László and now we will discuss how many we will print of them. It's a dream to have such a conversation, because László is not an easy author. The books have not been published in large volumes before, he says.

Was the message expected?

He has been a favorite for several years. I met László in Stockholm a few months ago – he is incredibly fun to talk to! We talked about everything except the Nobel Prize, he has not wanted to talk about it.
