Mikael Blomkvist, the journalist who helped Lisbeth Salander fight evil in the massively successful Millennium Trilogy, could well have been Stieg Larsson's alter ego. The late Larsson was a writer and editor with the Swedish magazine Expo before he wrote The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2008). This collection brings together 25 of Larsson's Expo articles, spanning the years 19832004. The themes that appear in The Girl with novels, especially racism and the abuse of women, appear prominently here, too. The articles are organized loosely according to subject, including terrorism, the return of anti-Semitism in Europe, homophobia, Islamophobia, and violence against women. Larsson's writing is more editorial than investigative, with a brisk, incisive tone. There are too many articles focusing on Swedish politics for American readers, and a couple of pieces (one on astrology) seem tacked on. Larsson's essay on the murders of two women in Swedenone the victim of abuse, the other of an honor killing however, is outraged reporting at its best. Larsson devotees will want to take a look at the journalist behind the fiction writer.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
