        Some other published things...

        In Swedish
        • The essential subaltern guides to Sweden (Subaltern #3-2007) and America (Subaltern #1-2005) (The whole catalogue of Subaltern issues etc is HERE) Subaltern har varit en sorts antologi i tidskriftsform där de olika numren behandlat diverse ting från jordens undergång till erotik. En utgåva handlade om Amerika – till vilken jag skrev den långa ingångsessän om mina resor runt USA – och en annan var tänkt som en alternativ Sverigeguide, där jag bidrog med ett avsnitt om ”Strömsholms kanal”.
        • The ultimate book on cinema and cocktails Den stora boken om film och alkohol är utgiven av Filmkonst och i den finns naturligtvis ett kapitel om 1001 groggar i Bollywood.
        • A short story for download Här kan man ladda ner novellen ”Konstnärens liv”
        • A short story not for download (see also this review in Swedish) Här kan man inte ladda ner novellen ”Kioskägarens son”

        Music

      • Some songs I've co-written (with Twice A Man), available on CD (free MP3 audio samples online) "Noises of India" and "Shanti-Shanti" taken from the 2003 album "Agricultural Beauty" by Twice A Man, Gothenburg
      • The Swedish rockers Drift Band recorded a song based on experiences at my wedding, "An Old Monk in an Ambassador in the Rain" and here you can listen to the song
      • And here's the genuine Frank Zappa of Swedish heavy metal, with his band called Freak Kitchen. The other day I just co-wrote a hardrock song with these fellows... probably it'll be released sometime 2011 but the band might play it at concerts even before that. BREAKING NEWS: listen to the title song from the forthcoming movie "Once Upon a Time in Scandinavistan" (also known, in Swedish, as "Tandooriälgen")
        • ...more to come!
