Lars Gustafsson bol švédsky básnik, prozaik a učenec. Vo svojej tvorbe sa zaoberal otázkami teórie a filozofie, pričom jeho štýl často prepájal vedeckú presnosť s poetickou predstavivosťou. Jeho diela skúmajú zložité vzťahy medzi jazykom, realitou a ľudským vedomím. Gustafssonova jedinečná perspektíva a hlboké intelektuálne bádanie zanechali nezmazateľnú stopu v švédskej aj svetovej literatúre.
