The Afterlife of Stieg Larsson

“Reading The Afterlife of Stieg Larsson - http://nyti.ms/bK4EQL Cannot wait for #theGirlWho KickedtheHornetsNest to come out.”

I will have to read the novels. Stieg Larsson served a long apprenticeship with text.

He was a reporter and editor. A professional listener. Most people do not speak well. I expect he would present his subjects voice as well as the facts. These novels are in his own well polished voice. They have benefited from several cycles of editing. I wish they had kept his titles.

I am not a secret writer. I have never had any ambition in that direction. Text creation hurts me. I try to do less of it.
