Comment on Lisbeth Salander: The Girl Who Survived Her Creator

Lisbeth Salander: The Girl Who Survived Her Creator

In a 2010 piece for Slate, Michael Newman argued that Lisbeth Salander, the brilliant, fearsome hacker heroine of the hit Millennium series deserves better than the man who created her. “Of all the unlikely triumphs of Lisbeth Salander,” he writes, “the most gratifying is her victory over Stieg Larsson.” This victory came in more ways than one: The Swedish author and journalist died in 2004 at the age of 50, after handing over the manuscripts for the first three books, but before seeing a single published copy, or reaping any of the profits from the 80 million copies sold worldwide, not to mention the four film adaptations in Swedish and English.
