Items related to Stieg Larsson: Our Days in Stockholm
in this candid memoir, Baksi answers the questions a multitude of Larsson's fans have already asked about his childhood, the recurring death tretas, his insomnia, his vices, and his feminism--so evident in his books-- as well as his own personal dogma. What was he like as an individual and author? Who provided the inspiration for his now-immortal characters (Baksi is one of the few who appears in the trilogy as himself), and of course, who was Lisbeth Salander?

Review:
Not a full-length bio in any sense, this quirky, oddly compelling memoir presents Larsson as a man consumed by a passion...Egalitarian to the bone, he was a workaholic who wrote fiction for fun but knew it was good. On the surface unassuming, he intended to change the world.
