The real story behind Stieg Larsson and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Times Online

It has gone on rising. On a French beach last summer Mark Lawson, the critic, noted that “almost every sunbather of every nationality was reading one of Larsson’s novels in the numerous translations”. His three books, the Millennium trilogy, have been filmed in Sweden, and Hollywood is planning its own versions.

This is the kind of reporting that will no longer be available when people are reading on their iphones, ereaders and such - like the way I read Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and am now reading The Girl Who Played with Fire.

That aside - pretty good article on the author Steig Larsson who died at the age of 50.
