Biography:
Jussi Adler-Olsen has become a well-known name in Denmark and abroad in just a few years. His books about the street vendor Carl Mørck and his two assistants Assad and Rose are published all over the world and have sold over 16 million copies. The series is being made into a film, and when he arrives in Germany, the world's most important book market, he is welcomed like a rock star.
But what does it take to become an international bestselling author? Does it come at a price? And where does the ability to describe bestial murders and otherworldly human evil come from?
The biography JUSSI shows previously unknown sides of one of Denmark's most successful authors. It is at the same time a picture of Denmark and the story of a boy who grew up in three different mental hospitals and became friends with the patients who were not healthy enough to move around in society outside. It is the story of stubbornness, hard work and a little bit of luck. And then it is a portrait of a man who goes all the way. Every time.
