Stieg Larsson

Karl Stig-Erland Larsson is known only as Stieg Larsson. He was born in Stockholm in 1954. Larsson was a Swedish journalist and writer. He became famous after his death, with the publication of the Millennium trilogy of detective novels. This trilogy is composed of "Men who hate Women", "The girl who played with fire and a can of gasoline" and "Queen in the palace of drafts"

Stieg grew up in the countryside with his grandparents in Norsjö. This town appears in a Men Who Hate Women's episode.

He could not sleep as teenager, so he wrote at night with a typewriter that he was given when he was just 12 years old. Unfortunately the noise of the keys did not let anyone else sleep either, so he was sent to the garage.

When he was 14 years old he went camping. There he watched as his friends raped a girl. Days after, he saw her and went to apologize for what his friends had done to her, but she ingnored him. Since then, he has been very feminist.

Stieg's legacy led to a confrontation between his widow (Eva Gabrielsson) and the father and the brother of the writer. His father and brother inherited everything but Gabrielsson thinks that she should have received it, because she was the person who knew him best. Larson left home at 18 years old and had lived with Gabrielsson since then. He did not talk with his father or brother.
