A summary cannot do justice to the precision, detail and well-thought-out nature of the novels. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo starts out slow and convoluted, like a chore the reader must get through, but, once hooked, there is no going back.
His characters and the plots shine a spotlight on the ills and realities of a rigged society. Our side should celebrate Larsson not only as a good storyteller, but also as a Marxist and a journalist for the left. With so many readers, it seems appropriate to discuss the connection between Larsson’s political legacy and his fiction. These books have sold over 21 million copies in forty-one countries, posthumously making Larsson the world’s second-best-selling author in 2008. The Millennium trilogy, written before the author’s life was cut short at the age of 50 by a heart attack, includes The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Next. The books are not political titles, but a crime fiction trilogy written by Stieg Larsson. IT MAY come as a surprise to learn that, since 2008, tens of millions of people worldwide have read the books of a Marxist and a committed antifascist.
