Article: In search of Stieg Larsson

BBC Magazine has published an interesting article on the controversies around the works of Swedish author and international best seller Stieg Larsson. Larsson's trilogy, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo [Men That Hate Women, in Swedish], The Girl Who Played With Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest [The Castle in the Air That Blew Up, in Swedish], were all published after his death in 2004. Several biographies are due out this year, one of them causing a stir with its suggestion that Larsson was not the leading journalist his myth has suggested. Far more inflammatory however, are comments made by a colleague of Larsson's in which he alleges that Larsson was incapable of producing the works published in his name.
