Unbelievable what life has become around the reporter who happened to forget a notepad in the Riksdag's dining room where she wrote ” Ebbaslebba”.
She said it was not a negative comment about Busch, without her simply thinking about TV – series Ebba & Didrik.
As the author of Ebba & Didrik amuses me with this uproar, but at the same time it is incredible that so much energy was put into this trifle that it is even discussed in Studio Ett P1 SR, except for writings in the newspapers.
I can basically remember when I wrote Ebba Slebba, it was when I was sitting at a very small typewriter table on wheels in a small apartment on Kungsholmen. I was about 25 år. What if I had guessed that there could be any uproar about these words, more than 30 years later. There you see the POWER of art!
Everyone seems to have a relationship with Ebba & Didrik and it is quite dizzying.
Anyone who wants to can still watch TV- the series on SVT play.
After I wrote TV- series I wrote the books, which are more directly aimed at the ages 9 – 11 år. TV- the series is not aimed at anyone at all ”target group”, but in book form it was required. TV – the series appeals to all ages and it's wonderful that it has actually worked just like that. What happens between the Children in the series could just as well happen in middle age or later. It's about lies, fidelity, love, the right to be yourself, the dream, jumped, the betrayal… things we all encounter in one form or another in life and which we must understand how to relate to.
Ebba Slebba… I laugh!
