Stieg Larsson is best known as the author of the Millennium Trilogy, but during his career as a journalist he was a crucial protagonist in the battle for democracy in Sweden and in Europe, and one of the founders of the anti-facist magazine Expo. Kurdo Baksi first met Larsson in 1992; it was the beginning of an intense friendship, and a fruitful but challenging working relationship. In this candid and rounded memoir Baksi answers the questions already asked by a multitude of Larsson's readers, about his upbringing and his passions, about the death threats, and the inspirations behind his now-immortal characters. Stieg Larsson, My Friend is an eloquent and troubling insight into the life of a man who is now one of the world's bestselling authors.
