Thank you so much for posting this here, I would not have known otherwise. I can't believe I didn't see your post until just now...

He was one of my favorite Scandinavian authors. I read every single one of his Wallander books.

I knew about his work in Mozambique, and the fact that he was a "mensch" seemed very clear from his writing - his books were always full of compassion for humanity.

His was a life well-lived.
