Alexander Ahndoril
Alexander Ahndoril (born 20 January 1967 in Stockholm)[1]) is a Swedish novelist and playwright. His best-selling novel, Regissören (Stockholm: Bonnier, 2006), about the film maker Ingmar Bergman, was published in English translation as The Director in 2008 (London: Portobello).[2] Ahndoril was longlisted for The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2009.[3]
His latest novel, The Hypnotist (2011), was written together with his wife. They wrote under the pen name Lars Kepler. It was a crime novel, a first for them, and thus the pseudonym.
