"There Are Things I Want You to Know" About Stieg Larsson and Me

“One of the most gripping back-stories of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy was the tale of the author’s 32-year relationship with architect and activist Eva Gabrielsson, and the fact that, because they were never officially married, she was cut out of any say in, or profit from, Larsson’s literary estate. Here she tells the story of that relationship, with many previously unseen pictures and including the letter Larsson left for her to be opened after his death.” —Globe and Mail

“For the millions of readers and film-goers who’ve been hooked by The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its trilogy, ”There Are Things I Want You to Know” About Stieg Larsson and Me is a book not to be missed. Eva Gabrielsson, Larsson’s life partner, tells us the reasons he was able to see the world through female eyes, his punishment for challenging a form of injustice still thought of as inevitable, and the aftermath of a success he didn’t live to see.” —Gloria Steinem

“Writing in a memorably austere, flinty voice, Gabrielsson has produced neither a tell-all nor some ‘handmaiden to literary genius’ emo-gusher … Gabrielsson comes across as rigid, obsessed, and humorless, but a fierce warrior in fighting for what she sees as justice. Not unlike Larsson’s own heroine.” —USA Today

“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.” —Toronto Globe and Mail
