Cultural Elite Gathers at Bonniers Publishing Party in Djurgården
Bestselling authors, TV personalities, and a few newcomers. The cultural elite gathered at Bonniers' publishing party in Djurgården. "You could say the 'elite' is here," said Malin Persson Giolito, who knew one guest would be late—her father, GW.
Around 400 guests arrived on Tuesday evening at Villa Nedre Manilla in Djurgården to celebrate the 2025 book season at Bonniers' annual publishing party. The extensive guest list included authors like Jens Lapidus, Karolina Ramqvist, and Herman Lindqvist.
TV and radio personalities such as Jessika Gedin, Cilla Benkö, and Cecilia Uddén were also present.
For SVT's Karin Magnusson, it was a special occasion.
"It's the first time I'm here in some kind of author role, it feels incredibly fun," said Magnusson, who is debuting her novel in early September.
One who has attended 30 times or more, he can't quite remember, is Björn Ranelid.
"The best thing about coming here is the beautiful architecture, it's enchanting," said Ranelid.
Malin Persson Giolito also enjoys the annual event in Djurgården, but when she arrived, it was without her father, GW.
"He will come, but later."
And indeed, Leif GW Persson appeared, an hour and a half late, and the party could begin.
