The video of Tomas Transtromer's Nobel Prize acceptance 'show' is now
available via:
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2011/transtromer-lecture.htm
It is ostensibly his acceptance speech, but instead it consisted of a
performance in words and music of a selection of his work by some of
Sweden's leading artistes (including the actor who plays Wallander!).
It is of course in Swedish, no subtitles, and can be downloaded too.
The running list is below:
