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".

A P.S also due to the Swedish Law due to Eva not being married to Stieg she has no rights to his 'property'. Sweden is not so progressive on women's or Gay rights for that matter than for instance here in UK. Both Eva and Stieg have been campaigning against right wing ignorance. This can be seen from the trilogy.

Due to Swedish Law Eva and Stieg were not able to marry. Stieg also planned on living much longer! He planned a futher 7 books in the series. The life of Eva and Stieg is an inspiration to the writings of the 3 books. Believe me their lives puts such depth to reality being stranger than fiction. In this case tragic and brutal. They both were in fear of their lives. People should do a little more research before spouting forth judgemental ill informed comments. It is truly tragic that even after Stieg's early tragic death that the toxic environment is still poluting Eva's life.

Here's a compromise. The family gets the first three books. She gets the character and any future books she completes.

- Michael, 24 December 2011

Here is another compromise. The father and Eve share all the money. The brother go and find work. I bet the parasite is 40 years old and is still living in his father's house, has never married and is a moron.

lol.

If Eva is such a good writer, Than she doesn't need his money or rights to his books. Trying to take any of his writing away by insisting she played a big role in it, dishonors his memory and legacy as a writer. Shame on you! The man is dead, let his legacy be his own, YOKO! You are just as greedy as his family, more so because people listen to you. Let his writing be his!

- John W.E., 23 December 2011

John, pardon but you're just an ass.

- Michael, 24 December 2011

Pardon, But maybe she is the reason he was alienated from his family, ever think of that, Jack!

- , 26 December 2011

John, you're still an ass.Who cares why the family was alienated, -

she was the one who was there for him.

- Jeremy, 26 December 2011

She has money! you douche bags, This is just greed and selfishness! If he wanted to give her what she wants he would have left it to her, Its called a will. I think if you don't leave a will than no one should get it! Clowns! If he really loved her he would have married her, so to bad for her!

- paul, 27 December 2011

I agree, those two are the asses!

- Sue, 27 December 2011

Yea, she should get nothing!

- Anna, 27 December 2011

Yes, it's true if he wanted her to have it he would have married her. Jeeremy and paul are the asses!

- Goerge, 27 December 2011

stieg larsson had a very strong opinion witch bothered a lot of people who did'n share his opinion , the reason they did'n get married and she got nothing was mainly out of protection for her and mostly himself ,because if you where married in sweden you must give a adres ,witch would make it mutch easier to track down the couple

- millhouse vanhouten, 29 December 2011

The reason they didnt get married was because they wanted there relationship to be sort of secret. and if they married then they would have found out where he was because your really only aloud to stay in one place in sweden.

- , 9 January 2012

Wonder if there are men who hate women in the above posts (sic), or for that matter women who hate women. Food for thought

- dotparka, 26 January 2012

Surely this guy John is the brother posting under a fake name.

- Connan Doyle, 28 January 2012

If any of you had read anything about the couple, you would know that they were under constant threat from Neo-Nazis and had to protect themselves (thus not being seen together in public) but it was a well-known fact that they were a couple.

I couldn't put the books down and I loved the first movie (Swedish.) I agree that Eva should be allowed to finish the book if that is what she wants.

Swedish: Eva, vill önska dig en fin julmånad och jag vill bara säga att jag håller på dig. Du är fantastisk, älskar dina böcker och Stiegs också. De ligger alla på nattduks bordet och jag läser om och läser om.

English: Eva, I wish you a nice Christmas month and I agree so much with what you say and think and write. You are fantastic and I love your books, and Stiegs also of course. I have them on my night stand and I read and reread all the times.

I'm from USA and I've never heard of him or her before seeing this.

The legal system is wrong that does not recognize that he would want her to have legal rights to the works, same as if they were married.

The father and brother are greedy scavengers.

Best wishes Eva.

- The Guy With An Invisible Tattoo, 5 December 2011

If the books are true to life, it would appear that Swedish Citizens are very limited in the right to protect themselves as well...curious...Mace an illegal weapon? Does anyone know if there is truth to that?

- 1/3 scandalous, 12 December 2011

Yes, Mace is illegal in all Nordic Countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland). On the other hand, the crime rate in those countries is very low,so there is no real need for it (or so the governments think)

And I agree, the brother and father are nothing but scavangers trying to profit from Stig's death when they were nevere there for him in life.

The legacy

Controversy surrounding the legacy

Stieg left no written will, and according to Swedish law, Stieg's full estate was inherited by his father and brother. This sparked a dispute between them and Stieg's life companion Eva Gabrielsson, who was left with nothing. The situation is complicated by the fact that Eva controls the script for the 4th book in the Millennium series.
