Annotation:
According to her sharp and honest account of their lives together, Evan Gabrielsson met Stieg Larsson 32 years before his untimely death, when they were both young radicals who bonded over the United States' involvement in Vietnam. They would go on to live and work together, as Larsson maintained his leftist journalism practice and found therapeutic relief in presenting things has he really saw them in his Millennium trilogy. Larsson and Gabrielsson never married, and so his estate passed to his family at the time of his death. Gabrielsson's anger at the way Larsson's legacy has been managed is palpable. She certainly knows this enigmatic and posthumously popular author better than just about anyone, however, making this an insightful perspective on the author's life and work.According to her sharp and honest account of their lives together, Evan Gabrielsson met Stieg Larsson 32 years before his untimely death, when they were both young radicals who bonded over the United States' involvement in Vietnam.

"Fans of his books looking for an intimate peek into the life of a man who summoned a dark, scary version of Sweden will not be disappointed, but that understanding does not come easily....That is not to say Gabrielsson is an unreliable narrator -- the truth of what she says seems to come off every page -- just that she is a very difficult one to follow....To everyone else, Larsson came out of nowhere, but she knows better and suggests that the Millennium trilogy is of a piece with the rest of his life."
