The Death of a Beekeeper, published in 1978, is Gustafsson's best-known novel.[11] John Updike praised it as "a beautiful work, lyrical and bleak, resonant and terse."[12] Ia Dübois has called it "one of his greatest works."[13] Eva Stenskar has written that it "seems so effortless yet lyrical that only an artist at the height of his powers could've produced it."[14] Its main theme is the agony of disease, as it follows Vesslana beekeeper who is dying of cancerthrough entries he makes on notepads. The book's innovative structure allows Gustafsson to explore identity through its expression in a variety of forms: imagination, memory and even the mundane details of life. The book's central theme is revealed by the repeated motto of the protagonist, "We never give up. We begin anew." Gustafsson himself has described it as "A book about pain. It describes a journey into the center where pain rules and pain can tolerate no rivals." The novel was re-published in 1984 as the last in a five-novel sequence Sprickorna i muren (The Cracks in the Wall), the other volumes being Herr Gustafsson själv, Yllet, Familjefesten, and Sigismund.
