An inspiring and current plea for the written word, cultural development and class equality.

He gives guest lessons in schools and speaks at educational meetings. On television he is known for programs such as "Stars on the Canvas" and "The Knagdoge Guest", in which he has in -depth conversations in his quirky way.
