Eva Gabrielsson
In this interview by the Swedish national televsision, Stieg Larsson's life companion Eva Gabrielsson reveals the truth behind the man that was Stieg Larsson. She discusses her claims in the controversy surrounding Stieg's legacy as well as her claims for a part of the royalty.
Eva Gabrielsson is about to pubslish a book about her life after the sudden death of Stieg Larsson called Stieg & Moi. Stieg & Moi is written by Eva Gabrielsson and Marie Francois Colombani and comes out the 19 Jan 2011. The Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet has read a rawcopy of the book and can reveal several interesting scoops.
Eva says in the book that she could finish the fourth manuscript but is, as of this moment unable to due to the legal dispute between her and Stieg Larsson's father and brother. The Swedish title of the fourh book is also told, and is said to be "Guds hämd" (english translation: God's revenge).
In the interview with the Swedish national television Eva Gabrielsson talks about how she was often afraid of something terrible to happen, that Stieg would be murdered because of his political views and actions.
"I always thought that the police would come and tell me that he had been shot or stabbed to death".
I've read the Trilogy, There are things I want you to know about Stieg Larsson and Me, That Girl Start her Own Country, The Sultan of Monte Cristo, and The Counte of Monte Cristo. The Trilogy was one of the best series I've read. The Counte of Monte Cristo is a classic. The book "About Steig and Me is a good, fairly well written book. The Sultan of Monte Cristo and That Girl are not well written books. It seems someone used notes and just pasted them together. Whoever wrote the Trilogy, I believe Stieg Larsson, did not write the Sequels to the Count of Monte Cristo. That Girl Started her own Country could have been a good book. It states it is not the fourth book but anyone with a brain can see it is. The plot sounded like Stieg Larsson for the fourth book but someone threw it together without the extreme details that Mr. Larsson would use. I hope when the real fourth book and those that might follow someone with a writers mind will finish the books. Holy Ghost Writer needs to take some writing classes or it could be someone that is trying to make a profit off of Mr. Larssons great writing skills. I feel rather foolish having purchased the books thinking that some unknown is making a profit off of a Great author.

I disagree. To the contrary, the sequels (The Sultan of Monte Cristo and That Girl Started Her Own Country) are very well written. You cannot write such books simply by pasting notes together! I urge anyone who reads the above comment to check the books out for themselves. Look them up on Amazon, Goodreads or Barnes and Noble. They are intelligent, thoughtful and thoroughly enjoyable page-turners. Check out all the glowing 5 star reviews on both books, if you need convincing! They do not disappoint, and that is the truth of the matter. Check them out and make up your own mind.

Okay so I read these two sequels about a week or so ago. I actually really enjoyed them. Then again I read a book to read a book not to try and tear it apart and hunt and search for things to complain about. I love Dumas, and I was happy to find something fun and new that although was not written by him, was in fact written with his style in mind. I agree, though that we all have differant tastes and we all have differant ideas of what we enjoy and like. So check them out for yourself. Dont take my or anyones word for it. Go to amazon and get your own copy. They aren't that much money.

I read the whole trilogy last year and I found it awesome. Stieg was terrific. I admire him and I hope Eva gets what she deserves. That´s what Stieg would have wanted. Respect him, her...them.

He did leave a will but his dastardly lawyer in cohoots with the brother and father, has destroyed it, but don't worry, Salandar had already accessed the lawyers computer, and has a copy of the will. She is in two minds though, as she felt a lot for Stieg and resents Eva. But she would like the fourth book to be finished, so she can get with kicking some more butt.

I just finished Eva Gabrielsson's book. When she said she and Steig talked marriage, bought rings but were always too busy over the coarse of 30 years to get it done, is a real irony considering what has happened to her. Always protect yourself in any relationship! I hope father and brother come to terms with her. These men had nothing to do with the writing of the triology and only have his money because of Swedish law. I saw the interview of the men on 60 minutes and watched them paint a very different picture of their lives with Steig than the one Eva portrays. I really hope Eva gets the literary rights to Steig's work so that the forth book can be finished and released.

I think the real author of the trillogy is Eva Gabrielsson for some non clear reasons the books were signed by Stig Larsson . I am pretty sure if she publishes the fourth book finally, we are going to understand the real mindset complex's Salander, so far the readers we just entertained reading a thriller which has the most particular main characther Lisbeth .
I feel really sorry for all the inconvenience is Eva having since her ex husband passed away and I feel so annoyed about the Swedish laws , even in Latin America a partner de facto has rights over the properties made during the relationship.

Let this be a lesson to all women. Assume control of your life! They should have married. At the very least, Mr. Larsson should have written a will protecting his partner & love, Ms. Gabrielsson & Ms. Garrielsson should have insisted on it! How ironic that Mr. Larsson worked for the rights of women he didn't know while failing to protect the rights of the woman who worked along side him for 30 years! That said, I am hooked on "The Girl.." triology & couldn't put them down! This body of work is excellent!
- Bernie Ward, 26 February 2012
Yeah, you are right. Why did he obmitted the rights of his girlfriend?
I really love his stories and wish hard that Ms Gabrielsson will get the literacy rights to continue the 4th book. In fact, I do hope that Lisbeth & Mikael be together. May God bless her to get the rights soon!

If there is an unresolved conflict between Ms Gabrielsson and Larsson's family, has anyone considered the possibility that there could co-exist more than one, indeed many, versions of Book #4 and on? If you are aware of the Jane Austen phenomenon of literally hundreds of sequels written by Austen fans (check it out if you don't know about this!) -- it suggests to me that Eva can write more, and so can the brother write his versions, and then we can enjoy them all. And they can go on and on. It works for Austen fans, why not for Stieg Larsson lovers? (Don't tell me, I don't want to think about millions of dollars profits for them to dispute over).

Indeed it is INCREDIBLE, to say the least, that swedish laws are so archaic concerning the rights of a de facto wife...UNBELIAVABLE, that he, acting in this front and defending other women´s rights, failed to protect her own, he should knew this laws, for sure, and yet did nothing from preventing this to happen...Not saying he did that on purpose, sure not, but how naive he was...and she as well, from not preventing all of this!! He smoked like a chimney, ate only fast food, drnak sometimes more than 30 cups of coffee in a day, did no physical activities, and how this was not predictable:!

I am apalled by the Swedish Government and their archaic laws against females. I am a person who makes my judgement based on hearing both sides of the story. It would be helpful to get information from both Stieg's and Eva's friends and family in the form of a written affidavits before judging them. Then people can make a more informed judgement to make their decisions about who has the right to inherit the money and rights to Stieg's works. Personnally, by reading Eva's biography, I find their psychiatrist did good by having a writen document to justify Eva. From the information in her biography, I lean towards Eva.
For those who have already made nasty comments, you should do a thorough research. Shame on you!!!!! How can you make such a statement before judging others? Do you know what you are even blabbing about?
As for the Swedish Government, I will lobby against their archaic laws by having people I know refrain from touring Sweden. This will hurt the government by not benefiting economically until drastic changes to their anti-feminist system are made. I know this may sound cruel to let Swedes suffer, but this is the only way I know to do this. If any other person has an idea to make the Swedish Government change their laws, I am for them. Also I would like it made retroactive so "Common Law, Partners or Significant Others" may claim what is rightfullly entitled to them.

Eva please compromise with Stieg's family let them give you your home & publising rights to the manuscript you have & royalties from sales of it .I think you owe that to Stieg's Millennium readers .My heart goes out to you for your loss of an amazing man I'm sure he couldn't have written the books without his partner you Eva .Let his series be complete maybe you can continue the series
- Edith von der Heide Australia, 19 February 2012
@Edith....Compromise! The family take all that Eva is entitled to and you expect her to concede just so you can get another book!
Eva obviously has morals & principles that shouldn't be broken...

Steves not dead. Hes at home playing with his samsung note 2. And Lisbeth is just peachy knowing she stood up for what's right. She needs love. Not things.

I've just finished reading the Trilogy and would just like to say that for one I am deeply saddened by the loss of one heck of a tremendous author.
I am further shocked at the conditions Women in Swedish society are, so it seems, subjected to. Although Stieg's, work is fiction the underling truth of the Trilogy are truly shocking.
Further proof of how women are used or humiliated in Swedish society is in Stieg's, life partner Eva, current battle with Stieg's, partners family over the rights of the books. Truly disgusting!
