David Bartal and his book on ZLATAN

Dear Shaded Viewers,

When I was in Stockholm I ran into David Bartal, a fellow contributor to ZOO, among other things. He just finished writing the unauthorized book on Swedish’s beloved football hero, ZLATAN.

The book will be published in a few weeks: Zlatan: en svensk saga. “The forward is titled “A non-interview with Zlatan Ibrahimovic” and tells the story of how the Swedish football star, who now plays for Italy’s Inter, refused to cooperate with me on the book. After I visited his sister’s barber shop in a final attempt to contact him, he phoned to complain about my efforts to reach him via his family, ending the conversation: “And this is not an interview.”
