Eva Gabrielsson discusses aftermath of Norway attacks on Democracy Now!
July 28, 2011
“In the aftermath of the Norway attacks, we look at the work of Stieg Larsson, an author known less for his extensive research into right-wing extremism in Scandavia and Europe than for his international blockbuster books, published after his death and known as the Millennium Trilogy: “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.” As part of his passion to “counteract the growth of the extreme right and the white power-culture in schools and among young people,” Larsson founded the Swedish Expo Foundation and edited its magazine, Expo. We go to Stockholm, Sweden, to speak with Larsson’s lifelong partner, Eva Gabrielsson, about the research they did together before his death.” — From the Democracy Now! website

“There Are Things I Want You to Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me in the NY Times Book Review
July 12, 2011
“Gabrielsson’s book, ‘There Are Things I Want You to Know’ About Stieg Larsson and Me, is an attempt to regain custody of Larsson’s legacy, not only from his family but also from a world hungry to commercialize his every aspect . . . 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. The book is a short, highly emotional tour though a widow’s grief and dispossession, and the details of the couple’s life together are jarringly juxtaposed with blood feuds and score-settling.” — New York Times Book Review

Globe and Mail calls “There Are Things I Want You to Know” “stunning”
June 28, 2011
“Provides stunning, strong explications of Larsson’s ideologies, most notably his feminism. . . . As a legal drama, it’s compelling. As a story of two lives entwined, for three decades of working toward something that was never shared, it’s even more.” — Globe and Mail

The Wall Street Journal interviews Eva Gabrielsson
June 28, 2011
“Eva Gabrielsson, the common-law widow of the late novelist Stieg Larsson, whose Millennium trilogy sold 60 million copies world-wide, has written a moving memoir “There Are Things I Want You To Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me. The title comes from a love letter Mr. Larsson wrote to Ms. Gabrielsson at 22 years old, thinking he might die in Ethiopia. . . Now, she tells of their 32 years together, of his sudden death in 2004 at 50, of her loss of stewardship of his $100 million literary estate that, according to archaic Swedish inheritance laws, goes to his estranged father and brother. On an American book tour that has become a media event, Ms. Gabrielsson spoke to the Wall Street Journal, about her life and her book, on Thursday, before being interviewed at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y by feminist icon Gloria Steinem.” — Wall Street Journal

7×7 magazine interviews Eva Gabrielsson about “There Are Things I Want You to Know”…
June 28, 2011
Eva Gabrielsson was Stieg Larsson’s longtime partner and his collaborator on the wildly popular and internationally bestselling series, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest. After Larsson’s unexpected death in 2004, she learned that due to an obscure bit of Swedish inheritance law, their work was no longer under her control. Forced to rebuild her life during a protracted and ongoing legal battle, Gabrielsson wrote a memoir, “There Are Things I Want You to Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me. In anticipation of her conversation about the book with Roy Eisenhardt at Herbst Theater on Monday night, she stole time from her travel schedule to answer a few questions by email for 7×7.
