1954-2004
Stieg Larsson was born in Northern Sweden in 1954. Unfortunately his parents were too poor to raise him so they gave him to his grandparents where he was raised and lived a normal life. After his grandfather died he moved back in with his parents and brother. On Stieg’s twelfth birthday he was given a typewriter. He often times stayed up all hours of the night writing stories. Stieg and his life partner Eva had to live in constant fear of right-wing violence. Stieg found writing as a way to relieve stress. He used writing as a way to protect himself and Eva from all of the violence. Stieg loved to travel even though he never had enough money. Many people called Stieg “obsessed” with his work. Eva and Stieg lived together until Stieg died in 2004.
