Stieg Larsson, My Friend. Kurdo Baksi
Stieg Larsson, My Friend. Kurdo Baksi 2010. ISBN 9780670065363. A biography and reflection on Stieg Larsson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy) by his friend for many years as well as the publisher of Stiegs magazine. Expo. Stieg was a tireless worker for human rights and toiled relentlessly against ultra rightwing groups espousing racism, Neo- Nazism and anti-immigration. He shunned the spotlight as well as having his picture taken, preferring to be in the background. His success as a fiction writer came after he died suddenly from a heart attack. It seems Larsson worked non stop to the detriment of his health and well being, living on endless coffee and cigarettes.He said that there were ten books in his head for the series on Lisbeth and her life. Apparently he was a writer who worked on the book series in parallel. He was also tireless in “getting it right”, evidently destroying numerous early novels once the trilogy was accepted. One wonders what he would have written had he lived.
