 The story of Swedish writer Stieg Larsson is filled with the
same mystery and drama which mark his phenomenal bestselling trilogy of
"Millennium" novels, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, THE GIRL WHO
PLAYED WITH FIRE, and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST. Larsson
was born in a small Swedish village in 1954, and was heavily influenced
by his grandfather Severn, a devout anti-fascist who spent time in a
work camp during World War II because of his resistance to Sweden's
cooperation with the Nazis. For most of his adult life, Larsson
vigorously pursued two passions--anti-fascism and science fiction. In
addition to working full-time as a graphic designer, he became a
prominent journalist and lecturer campaigning against fascism and hate
groups, and also edited several science fiction magazines and was the
president of the biggest science fiction fan club in Sweden. In order
to relax at night, Larsson began writing what he originally planned to
be a ten-part series of mystery novels starring a journalist named
Mikael Blomkvist and a punk-rock computer savant name Lisbeth Salander,
whom he imagined as an adult version of Swedish children's icon Pippi
Longstocking. Larsson eventually finished three (and a half) novels
before he died of a massive heart attack in November of 2004, a few
months before his official debut as a mystery writer. As of early 2010,
the "Millennium" trilogy has sold more than 27 million copies worldwide.
