Stieg Larsson, Crusading Trotskyite
About Stieg Larsson (pictured), the criminally successful author of the “Girl” novels, the biographer Jan-Erik Pettersson writes: “Stieg was a political animal. He was a fervent advocate of women’s rights. He was an anti-fascist. Despite the runaway success of his thrillers, I have always considered his articles about…international rightwing extremism more interesting – and more important.”
