Here is the real inside storyâ€”not the one about the Stieg Larsson phenomenon, but rather the love story of a man and a woman whose lives came to be guided by politics and love, coffee and activism, writing and friendship. Only one person in the world knows that story well enough to tell it with authority. Her name is Eva Gabrielsson.,Eva Gabrielsson and Stieg Larsson shared everything, starting when they were both eighteen until his untimely death thirty-two years later at the age of fifty. In â€œThere Are Things I Want You to Knowâ€ about Stieg Larsson and Me, Eva Gabrielsson accepts the daunting challenge of telling the story of their shared life steeped in love and sharpened in the struggle for justice and human rights. She chooses to tell it in short, spare, lyrical chapters, like snapshots, regaling Larssonâ€™s readers with the inside account of how he wrote, why he wrote, who the sources were for Lisbeth and his other charactersâ€”graciously answering Stieg Larssonâ€™s readersâ€™ most pressing questionsâ€”and at the same time telling us the things we didnâ€™t know we wanted to knowâ€”about love and loss, death, betrayal, and the mistreatment of women.
