THIS IS JONAS

Jonas Jonasson became world-famous overnight thanks to his debut novel The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (2009). So far, that novel has sold eleven million copies throughout 133 countries and on every continent but Antarctica.

Since his debut Jonas has published five successful follow-up novels. The most recent—The Prophet and the Idiot—will be released all across the world in 2023.

Those who know their Jonasson will find familiar themes: characters who blaze their own paths and anti-heroes who have been treated cruelly by our imperfect world.

While the author’s social engagement always shines through, he never lets it get in the way of storytelling, warmth, and hope. His unique narrative voice has led him to be called “The most brilliant comic novelist alive.”
